Everyday I have gone into my service learning classroom I have seen the standards being addressed throughout her lessons during the day, especially in reading and math. With math the students have worksheets to work on, games to play and other interactive materials that help them learn the specific standard, same with reading and writing. The teacher has an specific program that she has been asked to use on her ipad that helps her test students with reading, the program helps her group her students into different levels of reading as well. I have mostly been in the classroom during math, english, and have been there a few times for physical education. I have not seen science addressed, fine arts, or social studies and that might simply be because I am not there during that time of day when it is the focus, however I have noticed when she is teacher one subject she ties in things they have taught from other standards which has been fun to see.
I know my teacher really likes the program on her ipad that she uses for standardized testing with reading and has found it extremely helpful but I know there are other programs that teachers have been asked to use that are not as helpful/enjoyable for their classrooms and they feel that it is not a good program to help with standardized testing. My service learning teacher understands and recognizes that the standards are helpful for both her and her students, the standards can help her know what her students need to know at certain points in their education and there are great resources available to help teach each standard.
