Standards+Aligned+System



** Standards Aligned System (SAS), is a comprehensive approach to support student achievement across the Commonwealth. **

** A lot of research has been conducted as to what makes a GREAT school. There are many components involved. However, research supports that great schools tend to have six common components. These six components are: Clear Standards; Fair Assessments; Curriculum Framework; Instruction; Materials and Resources; and Interventions. You will see that the SAS website is organized around these six components. **

** Keep in mind the Pennsylvania SAS website is still relatively new and some of the subject areas and components are not completely developed yet. The website continues to be updated with more resourceful information just about every day! Be sure to check back often for more content and resources to assist you in becoming an even better teacher than you already are. **

** Feel free to navigate through the pages listed on the sidebar, as I have included some information on how to navigate around the SAS website and also listed twenty assessments and other materials and resources. I included a brief description and rationale for highlighting the lesson, as well as a link to the resource and its supporting material. **
