Teach to the test?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Provides a thorough explanation of curriculum alignment and makes the case that the written curriculum should be aligned with the tested and taught curriculum, a concept that seems obvious, but isn't utilized often enough in our schools. Great for teachers and essential for administrators.
