Many teaching practices are “inherited” from previous generations of teachers, but not all of these fit well into a standards-based system that requires all parts of the learning process to be aligned with those standards.

In this webinar, participants will learn how to use a set of planning tools to adapt traditional activities to align them with standards. In addition, they will learn to use these tools to create their own engaging learning activities that will take learners to mastery of the academic standards.

Reeves is an associate professor of education and department head at Susquehanna University, a small, private, liberal-arts undergraduate college in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. She teaches introductory education courses to first-year students, teaches methods courses to seniors, and supervises secondary education students in their student teaching.
