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
