Contact: John Kendall

Audience(s): Teachers and Administrators

Service Description:

McREL works with schools, districts, states, and other education agencies to review, improve, and implement academic and career-technical standards as well as standards for principal and teacher performance.

Key Ideas:

Our experienced analysts can evaluate your academic and career-technical standards in variety of ways, including:

• Benchmark your standards against the best in the nation and world, identifying opportunities for improving rigor
• Ensure your standards reflect a research-based scope and sequence so that you can organize curriculum around them
• Determine the extent to which your curriculum materials align with your standards
• Ensure that your career-technical standards reflect current certifications and align to academic standards, including the Common Core

We can also evaluate standards for teachers and principals. We can:

• Compare your teacher or principal standards to national and state models
• Provide recommendations for improvement in clarity, organization, and language
• Identify missing topics and those that can be further developed
