Standards and Learning

Hansen, Buczynski, and Puckett state that, "In addition to helping students become competent with 21st century skills and tools, teachers are responsible for their students' mastery of core subject-matter standards, or grade-level subject-matter criteria that identify what students need to know, understand, and be able to do (KUD)." (Hansen et al, 2015).
