The Five Standards are:" "• Standard I — Teachers and Students Producing Together Facilitate learning through joint productive activity among teacher and students. • Standard II — Developing Language and Literacy Across the Curriculum Develop competence in the language and literacy of instruction across the curriculum. • Standard III — Making Meaning — Connecting School to Students’ Lives Contextualize teaching and curriculum in the experiences and skills of students’ homes and communities. • Standard IV — Teaching Complex Thinking Challenge students toward cognitive complexity. • Standard V — Teaching Through Conversation Engage students through dialogue, especially the Instructional Conversation." 12-03
