child's cognitive development; marks the beginning of logical, or operational, thought i.e. the child can
work things out in their own head rather than physically trying things out in the real world (piaget)
formal operational stage correct answers 4th and final stage of development; ages 11-adulthood; people

null curriculum correct answers everything not included in the explicit curriculum, and, thus, is not
expected to be learned during a student's K-12 education
content standards correct answers describe what students should know and be able to do at the end of a
specified period of learning with regards to subject content; content standards provide a framework for
curriculum development, instruction, and the assessment of student achievement
performance standards correct answers describe how well the student has prepared for and performed in
class, and how well the student has mastered the material presented
standards-based instruction correct answers systems of instruction, assessment, grading, and academic
reporting that are based on students demonstrating understanding or mastery of the knowledge and skills
they are expected to learn as they progress through their education
standardized testing correct answers a situation in which all students take the same test under the same
conditions
Kounin correct answers educational psychologist who wrote the book "Discipline and Group
