Making Curriculum Matter: A Curriculum Review with Angela Lalor Program Description: What does a curriculum look like when it aligns to a district's vision and mission? How does a curriculum address valued outcomes for learning so they are a consistent part of students' daily experiences? How can curriculum be designed so all students have access to inclusive and equitable learning experiences? During this 3-day program, participants will examine these questions through the guided review of their curriculum. They will analyze their curriculum to determine the degree to which it aligns with the vision and mission of their schools and valued outcomes of learning including discipline-specific practices, deep thinking, social and emotional learning, civic engagement and discourse, so all students engage in equitable and inclusive learning experiences. After reviewing their curriculum, participants will determine next steps in their curriculum work. Program Outcome: Participants will evaluate their current curriculum to determine the degree to which it aligns to the Curriculum that Matters Framework by establishing a localized context for the review through the examination of the district vision and mission; determining how district priorities are evidenced in the curriculum; determining short and long-term actionable steps for addressing areas of weakness. Participants (Minimum of 6 needed to run): Districts are encouraged to send teams of 3-5 people, including an administrator.
