We did so based on the recommendation of a committee of ASCD members who conducted
a yearlong review of standards development, adoption, and implementation generally and the common core specifically.
Don Reynolds, a ninth - grade teacher at West Generation Academy — part
of the Generation Schools Network — praised this system: «With a minimum
of ninety minutes a day
of collaborative planning time, all grade level and content teams have the necessary time to develop
standards - based, fully - aligned,
yearlong plans, unit plans, and daily lesson plans as well as ample time to
review and act upon student data.
