PLATO© Correlation to the Arizona Academic Standards and Accountability


INTRODUCTION

 

PLATO Learning Inc. combines PLATO© computer-assisted instruction into a flexible integrated learning system to enhance instructional effectiveness in education programs. This document identifies PLATO instructional activities that correlate to the Arizona Academic Standards and Accountability, Language Arts (Adopted 7.9.96), dated .URL: http://www.ade.state.az.us/standards/contentstandards.asp

It is recommended that instructors review the correlation in order to fine-tune the activity to fit their educational environment. Modules may be added or removed; Web sites and offline activities may also be incorporated to enhance the learning path.

The following PLATO courseware was used in this alignment:

Reading Explorations, Level E
Beginning Reading for the Real World: Level D, Third Grade: Help Out!
Beginning Reading for the Real World: Level C, Second Grade: Adventure Out!
Beginning Reading for the Real World: Level B, First Grade: Around The Block
Beginning Reading for the Real World: Level A, Kindergarten: The World of Pets



PLATO Learning, Inc. looks forward to supporting your initiatives in providing successful educational programs using PLATO© computer-based lessons.
