Expectations for Curriculum Pacing, Use, & Planning
Objectives • Share rationale for curriculum pacing • Explain expectations for lesson planning and using the curriculum
District Pacing • District pacing has been set at the unit level • All grade levels will follow the start and end dates for units • This provides consistency for students and opportunities for professional learning across the district
School Pacing • Grade level pacing guides • One teacher from each grade level has met with instructional coach to determine daily & weekly pacing • This allows us to work around school and grade-specific events • Grade level pacing guides still fit within district start and end dates
Expectations for Lesson Planning • Teachers will use weekly common planning time to review upcoming lessons • Teachers will submit annotated lesson plans (including the work asked of students) at the beginning of each week to their coach
Expectations for Using the Curriculum • Leverage the resource! • Use the texts • Use key messages, questions, and ideas outlined in the lessons • Cover all of the components in a given lesson
When to Customize • All students need to receive the grade-level instruction outlined in the lessons, but teachers may modify and provide supports to individual students • Teachers should use data to determine when and how to provide supports • Teachers may also vary engagement strategies within given lessons (i.e. a debate protocol to discuss the culminating question in a read aloud) • Instructional coaches will help teachers think about adjustments
