Curriculum & Instruction webinars
Curriculum and instruction webinars look at what gets taught and how: unit design, high-leverage teaching practices, classroom management, student engagement, and career and technical pathways. Sessions tend to be pragmatic, with lesson artifacts and video of practice rather than slideware. A good starting point for instructional coaches and department leads.
