In this two-day course, these questions are explored:
- Why is a guaranteed and viable curriculum fundamental and how as a leader, can you ensure its central role with your team?
- What role do middle leaders play in supporting the curricular vision of the school and ensuring curricular alignment?
- What strategies and tools can middle leaders practice to facilitate curriculum development and review?
At the centre of teacher leadership is a commitment and desire to improve student learning. We know there are several factors that impact student learning and at the top of the list of school-related factors is a guaranteed and viable curriculum. What role do teacher leaders play in supporting the curricular vision of the school? In this course, we explore these questions together through structure protocols and discussions to generate new thinking, consolidate new ideas, and promote connections to prior knowledge.
Participants come away with direct experiences to understand the importance of a guaranteed and viable curriculum, the language of curricular design, the alignment of a course/grade level curriculum with department/team philosophy and the school’s mission and vision, and strategies to help make standards meaningful to their team.
This course needs to be booked via ECIS:
