Check your textbook against the standards to determine what areas you will need to supplement to teach to all the standards. The majority of work completed in some courses, such as math, may be driven by a text or other sequential materials. To make sure that using the text will allow you to teach all of the standards identified by your state or district, you can compare the table of contents of the program with the academic standards. Make a photocopy of your subject's standards for your grade level. Then check off the items in the photocopy as they appear in the table of contents. If some items appear to be missing in the text, turn to the index and continue checking off items as they are listed there. Some textbooks provide state standards correlations for you.
