Answer to Question 2

Planning in a standards-based environment is similar to planning in general, with an additional step. Standards are essentially statements of learning objectives, but they are often worded in such a way that teachers must first interpret the meaning of the standard. After interpreting its meaning, they state learning objectives based on their interpretation, and then they plan learning activities and assessments as they would under typical planning conditions.
