Standards and Local Curriculum: A Zero-Sum Game?
Jennings, Nancy E.
Journal of Research in Rural Education, v16 n3 p193-201 Win 2000
Examines the effects of a state standards-based reform--the Maine Learning Results--on curriculum and instruction in four small rural schools, focusing particularly on the impact on locally responsive curricula in the schools. Suggests that state standards and place-based curriculum may not be as incompatible as previously suggested. (Author/SV)
