Professional Learning

In our educational world, it is advantageous to provide customized learning opportunities

Due to the increasing number of newer teachers and leaders in education, the need for providing customized consulting, coaching, and professional learning opportunities that empower educators to own their own learning is imperative.

When I plan a journey to a new country or city, I find it beneficial to work with an expert who helps me plan an itinerary that not only meets my desired experience but ensures that I will see sites and hear sounds that only the expert knows I need to encounter. Together, we plan a trip that is just right for me, filled with so many special memory-making moments.

Similarly, Curriculum Decisions works with you to design the best learning itinerary to gain the insights and applications necessary to maximize benefits for both professional and student learning. Given her 30+ years of experience with various curriculum, instruction, and assessment models and frameworks, Janet will work closely with you to plan your professional learning needs.

Standards Savvy Teachers

  • While there are procedures and processes for unpacking or unwrapping standards, a foundational component is often missing: standards literacy. If teachers and administrators do not know how to read the standards based on their textual structure and function (beyond verbs and nouns), their curriculum, instruction, and assessment decision-making may not be as strong or positively impactful on student learning as desired.

Bullseye Prioritizing Standards

  • Breaking apart standards is an eye-opening process that is foundational for prioritizing them from three perspectives: critical, need to know, and still need to know learning. When these perspectives are determined collegially and systematically using a tried-and-true procedure, the resulting standard designations empower teachers to make clear and precise decisions when designing units of study, assessments, and lesson plans.

Quality Map Writing with Systemic Curriculum Design in Mind

  • Just as there is an art to painting a portrait, there is an art to designing curriculum. Learning how to write quality curriculum maps is a sophisticated task. Focusing on purposeful protocols when writing map elements helps teachers establish, adjust, or enhance their abilities to write units of study that accurately interpret learning expectations and elevate collaborative curriculum reviews and decision-making within and across grade levels, courses, and programs.
