Acceleration Workshops are focused on planning and enacting curriculum and instruction to advance the learning progress of all students.

When: 10:00am-12:00pm on June 28, 29, 30 and July 1. 

Where: Virtual (Zoom)

Audience: These virtual workshop sessions are intended for instructional leaders (superintendents, principals, assistant principals, instructional coaches, and department chairs) and teacher teams of all levels.

RIASP is funding RIASP members + guest (s) to attend these sessions. If you would like to bring a team of more than 2, please email Nicole at nletoile@riasp.org. 

These workshops address planning and delivering curriculum and instruction by accelerating learning for every student, rather than focusing on remediation, review, or other deficit thinking.

Intended Outcomes:

Session One: Setting policy, identifying programmatic approaches, communication, supporting teachers. How do instructional leaders create the conditions for acceleration? (June 28th)

Session Two: Focus on acceleration through curriculum compacting. What tools and processes do you need to decide what to teach? (June 29th)

Session Three: Focus on acceleration through instruction. What does this actually look like in the classroom? (June 30th)

Session Four: Rethinking time, focus, and intensity in planning for acceleration. What are the implications for scheduling, staffing, instruction, and intervention? (July 1st)
