Curriculum and Assessment Resources

Posted on July 20, 2020 by David Niguidula

As schools get ready for a new school year, we face a great deal of uncertainty. Even in communities where schools say they will be back in business full-time, it’s clear that some percentage of families will want to stay with the social distancing for at least a while longer.

Given that, there are ideas that many prominent educators have been suggesting for years that can be particularly applicable for thinking about your curriculum and assessment for the upcoming school year.

Heidi Hayes Jacobs and Allison Zmuda ran a 4-part series on preparing curriculum and assessment for the new year for the site Learning Personalized. Check out the links below:

• Deciding What to Cut, What to Keep and What to Create
