Cover Photo: MicroscpeTo be successful, every teacher must have appropriate instructional tools and the background preparation needed to implement curriculum standards in the classroom. Some materials, like grade and attendance managers, simplify routine classroom management tasks. However, labor-saving technologies for delivering standards-based curriculum and instruction and for preparing aligned assessments are not routinely available to teachers. Without proper tools, effective implementation of many standards-based reform practices, while possible, are not really feasible for most teachers.

The set of curriculum development and instructional tools found in the Tennessee's Next Generation Tools for Teaching Standards-Based Science CD can facilitate the consistent delivery of standards-based instruction.
