How to Design Virtual and In-Person Instructional Plans that Engage Your Students

April 29, 2021

It’s time to start thinking about curriculum mapping for the next school year. In this series of webinars, where Dr. Heidi Hayes Jacobs & Dr. Marie Alcock will help you unpack standards, craft learning targets that engage students, and personalize your curriculum and instruction for the upcoming school year.

As we start planning for a new school year, how might we think differently about what students need? Will “learning loss” drive us to place our students on the same old treadmill, adjusted for their starting points and speeds? Or can we be more deliberate in planning a streamlined curriculum and hybrid lesson planning, that encourages students to dive deep into the things that are most important? What do we cut? Keep? Create? Watch all three webinars with Dr. Heidi Hayes Jacobs and Dr. Marie Alcock to learn about these topics.

Whether you’re part of a seasoned curriculum team, a team with limited experience, or even a district superintendent, this webinar series is for you.

In this webinar, we’ll cover:

Learn how to design lessons for virtual and on-site learning
Understand how to group learners and curate engaging activities
Support students with different kinds of instructional plans
