Presented by Debbie Panchisin and Lara Crowley
Max Thompson’s group, Learning Focus, presented to School Chiefs an initiative called the Power Curriculum
School chiefs entered into a partnership to prioritize the DE standards and GLEs
Background
What is it?
The Power Curriculum Tool provides schools and districts with a "complete package" of features that allow you to transform state standards into advance organizers (complete with Unit Essential Questions, Key Concepts, Lesson Essential Questions, and Key Vocabulary) units, and lessons.
Where are we?
Learning Focused provided 2 day training for math, science and social studies teachers and a 3 day training for ELA teachers
A team of several teachers- 4-5 per grade level met in content area groups to prioritize the current curriculum
Future plans- the grade level teams will be reassembled during the summer months to finalize the curriculum
It will then be reviewed one more time by School Chiefs and the Learning Focused team
Once it is approved, it will be loaded onto the Learning Focused Strategies website and all teachers in the state will have access to the curriculum
Teachers will be able to use the information to develop units of study and lessons
What is next?
