Next Steps for Participants
Share the Building the Curriculum hand-out with appropriate personnel and assess which components of curriculum are in place for specific content areas. Examine the documents with an external content specialist. External content specialists may be beneficial in helping to determine the priorities in building/revising the curriculum. Review lessons plans and observe classes to assess the current expressions of: what students are to learn, why students are to learn it, and how students will know what success will look like when the learning intention/target is reached. Consider having a book study jig-saw using Visible Learning for Literacy, or Visible Learning for Math, by Hattie, Fisher, and Frey. Do not begin with monitoring. Begin with study to clarify.
