CONTENT STANDARDS - There has been a long standing effort to develop objectives to teach a curriculum that expects something to be desired from students.  This concept has evolved into a "Content Standard" so that the curriculum dictates something absolutely required rather than "desired."

We recommend you review your State's Standards for educational subjects.  However, if you click your computer's mouse's left button on any of the underlined below, you will see an orchestrated effort of the core of what has to be learned by a student in that area.

Awesome Library (Educational Standards by State)
Colorado Department of Education - (When you reach this site: (1) Go to "Table of Contents;" (2) Find "Standards and Assessments." Civics, Economics, Foreign Language, Geography, History, Mathematics, Music, Physical Education, Reading & Writing, Science, and Visual Arts are addressed)
Education World (U.S. National Standards)
Florida Department of Education(has done a tremendous job with the subject of"Sunshine State Standards."  Go to "Search", then scroll down, and click on "Sunshine State Standards." Focus is superb.  Reading is brief, concise, and takes various grade levels into account)
State Depts of Education
McRel - Standards
National Board of Professional Teaching Standards

FOR STUDENTS - Education is not mystical.   Take a good look at what Educators say you should know in the applicable subject.  Think about "staying a step ahead" and try to do so.  You'll be amazed at the results.

PARENTS & THE CHILD - The U.S. National Institute of Mental Health asked parents who had raised their children to become well adjusted and productive adults to offer advice.  Here is a summary of responses, as reprinted in the book "Developing Self-Esteem" by Connie Palladino, (Crisp Publication, 1989).  Items 1 - 11 below were written by Neil Rosenthal who is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Denver and Boulder, CO in an article "Parents relate findings on self-esteem," (Denver Post, May 21, 1998).
