Curriculum & Planning

Support both school leaders and teachers in creating a clear connection between curriculum decisions and what happens in the classroom.

With school leaders, the work may include:

Curriculum selection and decision-making

examining curriculum options and determining what best aligns with the school's goals, standards, and context

Standards alignment

ensuring curriculum and expectations are aligned with relevant standards

Vertical alignment

building coherence and progression across grade levels and subject areas

Planning for effective curriculum implementation

With teachers and teams, the work focuses on turning the established curriculum into meaningful classroom learning. This may include:

Connecting learning goals, instruction, and assessment within a subject or course

Learning how to effectively deliver the selected curriculum

Translating curriculum expectations into clear learning experiences for students

Writing unit plans and lesson plans that support the curriculum

Reviewing and strengthening existing units and lessons

The goal is to create a clear connection between what a school intends students to learn, how teachers plan and teach, and how student learning is assessed.
