Schools Incorporate Tougher Standards to Improve Learning

 CHARLESTON, W.Va. – West Virginia schools are changing how they teach from preschool to high school to keep pace with advances taking place worldwide. It’s called Global21: Students deserve it. The world demands it.

 “We want students to experience and explore relevant, real world problems and challenges,” said West Virginia Superintendent of Schools Steve Paine. “When the focus in the classroom moves from fact memorization to what students know and can do, that’s when real learning takes place.”

The West Virginia State Board of Education added world-class rigor to core subjects and aligned state standards with national standards in the National Assessment for Education Progress (NAEP), ACT and SAT, as well as with international standards in the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) and the Trends in International Math and Science Study (TIMSS).

For more information, contact the Educators and students will get the chance to tell Obama what they think are education's top priorities.
