- Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2025Standards for teachers are easy to teach with this book. It is user friendly and organized for easy use.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2021This companion helps keep me on track. One of biggest mistakes is my tendency to go rogue and teach my students about the story rather than teaching the standard. This companion comes with suggested questions to keep in mind when teaching the standard. It really helped me.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2024This book helps simplify your lesson plans.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2014I like the way this book is laid out. It is very user friendly. After each standard, there is a section where you can write your own notes as well as a planning page where you can write down your own plans. The explanations are clear and the guidelines are great. The only problem I had with this book is the wire binding. It was so loose, the book started coming apart. I had to manually squeeze each piece to avoid pages flying all over the place. Please check your copies before flipping through this book. Otherwise, I think the material is fantastic!
