ISLLC Standards

How much do we lose when we try to memorize every word of something important? I started out trying to learn every single word of the ISLLC Standards, and I found myself frustrated because it seemed almost impossible. As I spent more time looking at the standards, I noticed that there are a few key words at the heart of each one. Instead of focusing my attention and efforts on trying to remember every single word, I am now beginning to understand the meaning of each standard by embracing these few words and phrases. The importance of the ISLLC Standards requires us to do our best not to spit them out verbatim, but to know what they mean and be able to incorporate them in creating a successful and excellent school.
