Description
The Global Education Innovation Group supports schools and districts in using a backward design process to map and develop curriculum from state, national and international standards. Through the process, teams develop the skills of unpacking standards, developing logical sequences and building meaningful units of study for students that are infused with authentic tasks and learning experiences to meet the desired standards.
The curriculum writing process yields an articulated vertical and horizontal curriculum that institutionalizes the guaranteed outcomes desired by the school community. In addition, those involved in the writing process strengthen instructional strategies and become better teachers as they design curriculum. As the process develops a clearly articulated curriculum, it also ensures that teacher autonomy and expertise are foundational to the lesson design process.
Ultimately, the curriculum writing process produces a guaranteed, viable, and coherent road map for students from Kindergarten through 12th grade. The curriculum enables students and teachers to make sense of their learning progression and connect to the real world through big ideas that extend beyond school.
