Botvin LifeSkills Training Aligned to Common Core
Botvin LifeSkills Training gets aligned to the country's new standards in education, Common Core.
- New York, NY (1888PressRelease) November 01, 2013 - Botvin LifeSkills Training (LST), the leading evidence-based prevention program used in schools, has produced an easy-to-use Common Core Alignment for their Middle School program. These correlate to all four ELA Anchor Standards (reading, writing, language, and listening and speaking).
The Common Core State Standards Initiative is a state-led effort that established a single set of clear educational standards for K-12. The standards are designed to ensure that students graduating from high school are prepared for college programs or the workforce. The LST Alignment matches the program's objectives to the Common Core's Anchor Standards of English Language Arts by anchor standard and by program level, and easily identifies which skill is addressed by level, book, and page number.
"School districts can now quickly see how well LST supports the academic goals of the Common Core standards," said Dr. Gilbert J. Botvin, professor emeritus at Cornell University's Weill Medical College and developer of the LST program. "In fact, whether a district is following the Common Core or not, these alignments demonstrate extra value that the LST program provides in addressing important ELA skills and thus academic achievement."
