Concluding a volume dedicated to the Standards, this chapter discusses the impact the Standards had prior to their official release, evaluates the Standards using Shanker's (1994) "Criteria for High Quality Standards", and examines the implications of the Standards to the profession. This chapter would be particularly useful to researchers or administrators interested in the development, implementation, and impact of the Standards in their early years.#BookSection #All5Cs #Standards #Principalfocus #All #Curriculum #All #PolicyorAdministrative
