Group 3: Instruction

INSTRUCTION: 

“Four steps to achievement: Plan purposefully. Prepare prayerfully. Proceed positively. Pursue persistently.”- William Arthur Ward

       The MDK12.org site provides educators and families with many resources to better understand instruction throughout the state of Maryland while outlining the academic goals and plans for improvement that the state has to make sure all learners succeed and are offered quality instruction.

The Instruction category has several subgroups that contribute to the state vision and plans for improvement. These pages contain instructional strategies, voluntary state assessment by grade level and standard, assessments, rubrics, toolkit resources and key MSDE contacts for the four content areas designed for teachers.These groups include: 

• Teaching and Learning
• Common Core Standards
• Teaching Maryland Standards: Tool kits and Professional Development
• Early Childhood Initiatives
• Students with Disabilities

Throughout the following analysis potential uses as well as benefits of the site and Instruction categories will be explained along with an overview of each sub categories contents.
