Developing and maintaining an aligned and sequential curriculum with limited resources can be a daunting task. Learn how one school system used collegial agreement on big ideas and concepts to construct vertical curriculum alignment and a carefully designed curriculum rubric and template to structure horizontal curriculum alignment. Staff members are crafting a tightly woven curriculum framework by agreeing upon the vertical warp and by using a curriculum rubric and template to structure the development of standards-based units that form the horizontal weft. Participants examine copies of the rubric, the template, and the plan used to weave the curriculum design.
