Achieving the full benefit of new curriculum

Categories: Instructional materials/curriculum, Learning designs, Standards for Professional Learning

To illustrate how Standards for Professional Learning can guide educators in navigating their challenges, Learning Forward created a set of fictional case vignettes that draw on real experiences. The vignettes show educators in varied roles and settings as they apply professional learning to problems of practice. The following narrative homes in on high-quality curriculum and the vital role of professional learning in building educators’ capacity to implement it. Prompts for reflection and discussion are included to assist with applying the lessons to other contexts and situations. This vignette can be used alone or in combination with the vignette published in the February 2023 issue of The Learning Professional, which focused on equity-centered leadership, or other vignettes available at standards.learningforward.org.
