Professional Association of Georgia Educators Standards-based Instruction Standards-based education is a process for planning, delivering, monitoring and improving academic programs in which clearly defined academic content standards provide the basis for content in instruction and assessment. Standards help ensure students learn what is important, rather than allowing textbooks to dictate classroom practice. A standards-based system: -aligns policies, initiatives, curriculum, instruction, and assessments with clearly defined academic standards. -consistently communicates and uses standards to focus on ways to ensure success for all students.

Professional Association of Georgia Educators Standard-based Instruction and Student Achievement Students generally learn better in a standards-based environment because everybody's working towards the same goal. Teachers know what the standards are and choose classroom activities and teaching strategies that enable students to achieve the standards. Students know the standards, too, and can see scoring guides that embody them. The students can use them to complete their work. Parents know them and can help students by seeing that their homework aligns with the standards. Administrators know what is necessary to attain the standards and provide professional development, resources and materials to ensure that students are able to reach the prescribed standards
