A brief description of a grade book set up for looking at specific standards and an outline for developing units that cover multiple standards.

College Ready Physics Standards: A Look to the Future written by Patricia Heller and Gay Stewart This document contains a set of K-12 educational standards for physics. This work is an extension of Advanced Placement standards to a full K-12 progression of physics concepts. There are five main standards each with a set of objectives, foundation knowledge statements, conceptual learning targets, and learning outcomes. The document also includes instructional guides for each of the standards and objectives to help teachers interpret and address the learning outcomes. These guides include common student difficulties and the content boundaries for each grade band, as well as example activities, questions, and problems.
