Session 3: Enhancing Formative Assessments with AI: Ensuring a Guaranteed & Viable Curriculum
Presented by Erma Anderson
Instructional coherence means ensuring that every element of instruction — from core instruction to interventions to extended time—works together to advance grade-level student experiences. At the most basic level, a coherent instructional system builds academic and socioemotional supports that prepare the way for and extend grade-level learning. This means that students engage in instructional experiences that have a link and relationship with each other and with core grade-level instruction.
Bridging the Gap: Enhancing Instructional Coherence will examine the core instructional model and the anatomy of a lesson. It will provide opportunity to examine key components of a well-designed lesson, research evidence-based teaching practices, and assessment strategies. The sessions will provide the consistent language, strategies, and focus required for coherency in all content areas.
