Culturally Responsive Curriculum
Presented by Mary Ann De Rosa

This interactive webinar on designing culturally responsive curriculum, teaching, and learning experiences shifts the DEIJ conversation from reflection to action. Through a lesson simulation, participants will understand how culturally responsive and inclusive pedagogy looks, sounds, and feels in the classroom. The webinar will share strategies for creating curriculum and instruction that are inclusive and culturally relevant. Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on their own teaching methods, identify gaps, and access tools and resources to support their own curriculum development.

Tailored Interventions and Accelerations: Addressing Diverse Student Needs
(Session 4 of 4 | Bridging the Gap: Enhancing Instructional Coherence Webinar Series)

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.
