July 21, 2025

Summer curriculum support days will provide dedicated opportunities for educators to work with high-quality instructional materials, helping them to familiarize themselves with their curricula and collaborate with colleagues on best practices. These days allow teachers to tailor their educational resources to address the diverse needs of their students, ultimately improving instructional practices.

Through dedicated time to analyze their curricular materials and instructional practices, educators can refine their teaching methods, leading to more effective lessons and better student outcomes. Moreover, these dedicated days promote a culture of continuous learning and innovation among teachers, ensuring they are equipped to deliver engaging and impactful lessons.

Individual and small group support either from ESU 10 facilitators or veteran teacher leaders will be available to further enhance the learning experience. Teachers can receive personalized guidance and share insights with peers, fostering a collaborative environment that encourages the sharing of ideas and strategies.

New teachers will gain hands-on experience within their curricula while veteran teachers can engage in quality collaborative conversation with other teachers who share high quality instructional materials.

A Google Form to gain additional information that will allow the workshop to be tailored to trends in participants’ needs will be sent prior to the workshop.
