Abstract

In the spring of 2011, I met with an elementary teacher who described the challenges she faced when meeting the curriculum pacing guidelines set by her school district. She explained how she felt a great deal of pressure to address a wide range of content standards within a relatively short period of time due mostly to constraints of high-stakes testing. She then mentioned a possible solution to this dilemma. Her idea became the basis for this study.
