About

In this era of accountability and high-stakes testing, school leaders must find more sophisticated ways to help all students succeed. But how can districts make adequate yearly progress without a coherent system for addressing state standards? In From Standards to Success, education professor Mark R. O’Shea introduces the Standards Achievement Planning Cycle (SAPC), a comprehensive protocol for meeting the standards.
