The Standards Aligned System (SAS) is the Pennsylvania Department of Education’s comprehensive approach to support student achievement across the Commonwealth.  The Pennsylvania Standards Aligned System (SAS) is a collaborative product of research and good practice that identifies six distinct elements which, if utilized together, will provide schools and districts a common framework for continuous school and district enhancement and improvement.   In this course, participants will learn about the six components of the SAS, how to utilize the SAS Portal, and how to use the information to develop and action plan on the use of SAS and the SAS Portal.  The focus will be on maximizing instructional effectiveness and providing targeted resources for individual students that are standards-based, promote active engagement, and reflect effective instructional strategies.
