Redesigned World Religion Lesson Plan -- Understanding Islam
21st Century Skills & Standards
The study of world religions is an enormous, seemingly unmanageable undertaking for some students. Indeed at some point the learner certainly needs to understand the various approaches to the dogma practiced by the world's religions -- ignorance of global faiths and religious beliefs is unacceptable for today's well-educated student -- but taking an initial small bite out of this enormous religion-themed project (and chewing it thoroughly for proper digestion) is the aim of this modification. The ISTE-S changes in this plan transition the learner from the role of technology to number 4, "a" -- critical thinking and problem solving.

common core standards affect students with exceptionalities? Should we apply these standards to students with exceptionalities? Why or why not? A lot of teachers and parents have shown great concerns related to the system of education presented for the students with special needs with the implementation of the Common Core State Standards in different states (IDA, 2015 ).

Common Core Standards have been established in the field of education as a set of objectives for students to accomplish by the conclusion of their school year. These standards are geared towards enhancing students learning and outcomes through shaping curriculum. In addition, standards must serve as the foundation for a productive, balanced assessment system. This assignment focuses on unpacking a standard, creating a table of test specifications, and developing a
Common Core Standards Opponents of Common Core Standards have their points to make, and proponents have their key points to make as well. Which point-of-view will prevail in the long run? That question is impossible to answer but presenting both sides is what this paper sets out to do. Both sides of the issue have quality points to make, and they will be reflected here.
