Session 7: Questions to Ponder and Discuss
- Are the right structures, tools and processes in place at your school? If not, who is responsible for putting these in place?
- In what ways do you see Curriculum Trak supporting your efforts to improve instruction at your school and in your area?
- How do you identify areas for your own professional development and define your own goals for improvement in instruction?
- How might tying your goals back to your articulated curriculum be helpful?
- How do you communicate/share these strategies and practices with your colleagues?
CT Connection:
Curriculum Trak can help promote a culture of learning withing your school in two different ways:
- The variety of curriculum reports (in the Reports area) can provide key insights from several different perspectives. We recommend identifying a specific report to incorporate into every staff meeting and identifying reasons to celebrate (What are we doing well?) and an area to grow (Where can we get better?).
- The Lesson Planner Feature (and the variety of reports available along with it), provides yet another layer of reflection for teachers as they interact with their unit plans.
