About The Elements
The Elements: Transforming Teaching Through Curriculum-Based Professional Learning is a report from Carnegie Corporation of New York that explores how professional learning anchored in high-quality curriculum materials can improve teaching and learning for all.
Its aim is to guide teachers to experience instruction as their students will, change instructional practices, and lead to better student outcomes. Growing out of Carnegie’s grantmaking work, it details the following key elements of curriculum-based professional learning and essentials that underlie the processes of change:
Core design features: curriculum, transformative learning, and equity;
Functional design features: learning designs, beliefs, reflection and feedback, and change management;
Structural design features: collective participation, models, and time; and
The essentials: leadership, resources, and coherence.

“Our investment in Skyline demands that we provide our teachers with the support they need to successfully implement Skyline in their classrooms,” said Jonathan Ben-Isvy, manager of professional learning for Chicago Public Schools. “This means supporting and building content knowledge and instructional practices by rooting these in the Skyline materials they will use in their classrooms and with the very students they will be teaching in mind.
“The Elements has guided our vision for successful implementation of Skyline,” Ben-Isvy said. “Each decision is made with the intention of being as true to the framework as feasible within the complexity of a school system the size of Chicago.”
