Bebe Morrissey, lead A.L.L. consultant, will facilitate a 4 day institute with teachers and coaches. Participants will work together with Bebe to design a pacing calendar for the district that aligns with New Jersey's Model Curriculum and Interim Assessments. The sessions will also focus on designing units of study that align with the Common Core Standards and the 3 main strands of Writing. Master Teachers and Coaches will leave with a plan for the year, as well as concrete professional development ideas to guide their teachers in implementing this curriculum and the common core standards.
