Maintenance

Description

The ELA curriculum team routinely revisits and revises the vision of literacy and the ELA curriculum framework based on reflective feedback from stakeholders, district-wide assessment data, and current research-informed practices in literacy instruction. Follow-up professional learning and collaborative time are provided to all stakeholders to engage in a continuous cycle of improvement.

    • videos/screencasts
    • emails
    • a central location for curriculum materials (i.e., vision of literacy, pacing guides)
      • some examples of central locations include Atlas Rubicon, Google Suite, SharePoint
    • feedback loops
    • grade level meetings/PLCs
  • Continue to provide professional learning based on evaluation of feedback/assessment data through
    • whole staff professional development sessions
    • PLCs
    • coaching support
    • publisher presentations
