Sample scopes of work

Ongoing for teachers

What are these scopes?

How we address equity

We offer ongoing opportunities for educators to internalize lessons and understand student work to make informed, data-based instructional decisions. The goal is that all students are provided opportunities to read and learn, as teachers make strategic instructional choices with a high-quality instructional curriculum. Teachers are equipped to analyze and respond to classroom data for instructional planning and adapt lessons to provide equitable access to knowledge. We support teachers in their understanding about how high-quality instructional curriculum drives equitable instruction, and how strong implementation offers opportunities for culturally affirming instruction within the classroom and across the classrooms within a school/district.

Why is this important?

How we build district capacity

Sustainability is built throughout all aspects of the engagement with an LEA to create long-term success and equitable literacy instruction. Ongoing implementation of the high-quality instructional program is supported through a partnership with program publishers to enable use of curriculum that is informed and strategic. We build teacher knowledge and facility with program use, making “fidelity with flexibility” a realistic outcome. With leaders, we establish a scope and sequence to focus each Professional Learning and Direct-Coaching session. Leadership for literacy is built through district literacy leadership structures and coaching teams, ensuring sustainability through shared knowledge and distributed leadership.

Why is this important?

How we provide curriculum-aligned PL

Workshops

We use our Science of Reading workshops to translate findings of scientifically-based research to increase teacher knowledge and practices about reading and issues related to reading and writing. Our workshops support districts with the resources and expertise necessary that leads to skillful implementation of high-quality instructional curriculum.

Coaching

We determine shared indicators that tie directly back to the program implementation focus for the month (ex. foundational skills; reading the main selection) and follow a coaching cycle for all teachers in the teacher team for continuous improvement on these indicators.

PLCs

We develop a scope and sequence for the year and each monthly meeting with teachers includes cognitive instructional planning, corresponding activities and a product that can immediately be used for instruction.

Consultations

We provide collaborative data-driven problem solving as we partner with district leaders/coaches/teachers to review student assessment data and student work.
