AASL Standards

I knew that new standards had been released by AASL but I had not studied them closely. Ann M. Martin presented a session on the “Standards for the 21st-Centruy Learner” There are four areas under which they have identified Skills, Dispositions in Action, Responsibilities, and Self-Assessment Strategies for students to use for each standard.

The four standard areas are:

1. Inquire, think critically, and gain knowledge.
2. Draw conclusions, make informed decisions, apply knowledge to new situations, and create new knowledge.
3. Share knowledge and participate ethically and productively as members of our democratic society.
4. Pursue personal and aesthetic growth.
