0 likes599 views
The document introduces Standards Aligned Systems (SAS), a collaborative project that provides a common framework with the goal of continuous school enhancement. It outlines the 6 key elements of SAS: clear standards, fair assessments, curriculum framework, instruction, materials and resources, and interventions. Standards define what students should know at different grade levels, while assessments are used before, during and after instruction. The curriculum framework specifies what is taught in each subject. SAS provides tools to help teachers implement standards-aligned instruction and interventions to support student needs.
