The average time frame that is provided for each unit that is to be taught is approximately four weeks. There are some units that average more than eight standards that are to be taught in a four week period. Do you think teachers have enough time to effectively teach content and students master it prior to them being assessed at the end of the school term on state standardized tests? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think teachers need more time for concepts students don't understand. They are struggling students, so it is important to make sure they fully understand, with more time.
