Redesigning lessons may increase student engagement without raising the standard of their performance. We establish an emphasis on meaningful academic achievement and explicit standards for instruction and student performance that are consistent with constructivist or active learning approaches. Still, we highlight educational quality standards rather than just teaching procedures or methods as the primary learning goal. We demonstrate that in elementary, junior, and senior high schools that have undergone transformations, authentic pedagogy is strongly associated with effective academic results, that authentic pedagogy can be fairly distributed among diverse learners, and that its effect on achievement is fairly equitable for students from various groups. In today's educational context, one example is the performance tasks students complete. Another example of this is community immersions, even integrating contextualization and localization into the lesson. By this, students will easily understand the lessons clearly.
