What is the Purpose of These Resources?
The Kansas Education Resource Center contains tools for teachers to use in aligning classroom instruction and assessment to Kansas' academic standards.

What Do These Resources Include?
Standards resources are divided into sections by standard.  Within each section you will find the following:

	Information on how each standard spans previous and next grade levels.
	Worksheets for assessing alignment of current curriculum to the standards.
	A series of instructional activities provided for teachers across Kansas and geared toward the teaching of each standard.  The activities also feature opportunities to incorporate technology, other content areas, and other standards as well as tips for meeting the individual needs of students and extending the activities.
	Classroom assessments designed to measure what students know and what they need to learn in relation to the standards.
	A list of helpful materials to turn to for additional information on teaching and assessing each standard.

These resources are not complete curricula and are not prescriptive, but they can be valuable instructional tools.
