Developed and disseminated by the Education Trust staff, Standards in Practice™ can help ensure that, from classroom to classroom and school to school, all instructional activities are rigorous and aligned to state standards.  

This interactive model engages teachers in examining their assignments, instruction and student work.  Through this process, teachers collaborate to ratchet up the rigor of their assignments and devise instructional strategies to match them.   Because SIP provides real tools and information with which to measure instructional rigor, the framework can be used as both a guiding and evaluative tool for educators.
