About:
Most schools operate in silos. Kindergarten teachers don't know what fifth grade expects. Middle school teachers don't know what high school assumes. And nobody has ever sat down together to look at the full K-12 picture of what students are supposed to know, when they're supposed to know it, and whether the language we use to teach it is even consistent from one grade to the next.

This full-day working session changes that.

Participants will dive deeply into the three elements that drive student learning across every core subject — vocabulary, gaps and overlaps — examining K-12 vertical progressions to find where alignment is strong and where the disconnects that are underminding achievement. This isn't a sit-and-get experience. Leaders and teacher teams will collaborate in activities that they can take back to their districts equpping them to ask the hard questions, and leave with a clear picture of exactly where their curriculum system needs attention.

Designed for: Building principals, curriculum directors, instructional coaches, and teacher leaders who are ready to see their curriculum as a whole — not just the grade level in front of them. Each participant will receive a hardcopy of STEP Up's ELA, Math, Social Studies and Science.

Instructor: Sue Herrera, Director of Instructional Development and Consultant, STEP Up
