Achieve the Core's New Math & ELA Instructional Practice Toolkit

Achieve the Core is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping teachers and school leaders implement high-quality, college- and career-ready standards. The website has three avenues for teachers: Professional Learning, Planning & Reflection, and Classroom Resources. 

Now, it is featuring an Instructional Practice Toolkit. Check out the information below from their website:

There are few things more rewarding than seeing your students succeed with a lesson. It is a moment of accomplishment for them and pride for you. It is also a moment to reflect on why things went well.

Was it the design of the lesson? The structure of the student activities? The framing of the questions?

The new Instructional Practice Toolkit professional learning modules (available for math and ELA/literacy) help you make these connections. Through analysis of lesson plans, real classroom videos, and student work, you'll deepen your understanding of how each component of a lesson contributes to student success.

Each module contains:

• A PowerPoint presentation and facilitator guide
• Participant handouts and activities
• A lesson plan
• A full-length classroom lesson video
• Student work samples
• A teacher interview video
