Making curriculum decisions for 2020-2021 due to COVID-19 is on every educator's mind—both addressing immediate learning concerns and prioritizing learning for the future. To discuss either, contact Janet to schedule a virtual meeting.
To improve literacy when reading, interpreting, and analyzing standards, teachers and administrators need to be aware of the textual and symbol nuances that are important to demystify standards’ intent. Being standards literate aids in making more informed decisions when developing student learning and selecting or creating assessment and supportive instructional practices.

It is also important for teachers to be involved in standards fluency collaborations to make informed curriculum design, instruction, and assessment decisions. If standards-based decisions are made in vacuums (e.g., single grade level's or course's perspective), it can cause standards misalignment, rather than the desired standards alignment.
Janet’s years of experience in aiding schools, districts, and higher-ed programs in their capabilities to decode standard statements with fluency and comprehension lead to empowering educators in confidently determining explicit, and most importantly, implicit learning expectations across and within grade levels and courses.
