1. Get on the MAP! Navigating True Lesson Alignment for Student Success

   Session Description:

   Is your instruction truly aligned, or are you just holding on for dear life trying to keep up with the curriculum pacing guide? In this session, we’ll take the guesswork out of alignment using the MAP Approach: Mission, Assessment Format, and Proficiency—your ultimate navigation system for standards-based instruction. You'll learn how to pinpoint what students really need to know and master, ensure assessments mirror the way students engage with content, and define the depth of thinking required for true proficiency. Through interactive alignment activities, you’ll unpack standards like a pro and confidently evaluate whether instructional materials—including publisher resources—are truly standards-aligned.
