b"I remember 10th-grade Geometry. I was quite a distracted high schooler. And to accentuate\\xa0this problem...I was a total humanities guy. Math class was more of a social opportunity as opposed to an academic endeavor. Consequently, I was totally lost. I had virtually no idea what was going on.\\xa0Unfortunately, there are a lot of kids in Math classes today who resemble the 15-year-old me.\\xa0

So at this juncture of our journey, Mark Robinson enters the fray. Mark is a fabulous Math teacher who embarked this fall on a Standards-Based Learning journey. Standards-Based Learning is a powerful wave that's churning on education's horizon. Mark stops into today to talk about what it is, how it works and evaluates its effectiveness.\\xa0The 15-year-old James Sturtevant would have thrived with a teacher like Mark."
