2021/2022
Curriculum resources are currently under review. Contracts with HMH Collections may begin to expire this year. We are exploring new texts, pricing on the text that will replace Collections, and adding Writable for written expression. Contact Andy Flaherty aflaherty@conceptschools.org with questions.
A Network wide curriculum review team has been established and school are beginning to form their own review teams using a rubric to evaluate their ideas for programs that fit their student populations and goals.
A few handy resources follow but many more are attached within our SIS system:
- Balanced Literacy
- CommonCoreandInformationalText
- Reading Strategies vs Skills
- ChoosingReadingAssessments
- Conferencing Questions
- Lexile Framework for Reading
- TextDependentQuestions
- Academic_Vocabulary_PowerPoint
- MarzanoSummaryFrames
- Summary Frames worksheet
