Overview

During curriculum implementation, educators need support making sense of the curriculum using planning processes, data and templates to effectively plan and prepare for instruction, even when the curriculum is well planned to begin with.  Skills Block is filled with resources and materials that can support educators to pinpoint students’ phonics needs and plan for differentiated instruction. This workshop series will support educators to analyze student level Benchmark data in order to plan for teacher-led and independent rotations.

This workshop is part of a series. Explore the other workshop sessions below:
