Lesson Alignment

In Leverage Leadership 2.0, Paul Bambrick-Santoyo says that planning is a leadership lever that can help in every sort of school, from the lowest performing to the highest. Focusing on lesson alignment ensures there is a shared understanding around what makes for quality instructional planning, and is a natural extension of data-driven instruction: teach students what they need, not what they already know. Strong plans link together all of a student’s learning to make it rigorous, meaningful, and memorable.

TIL Lesson Alignment is based on the work of Paul Bambrick-Santoyo in Leverage Leadership 2.0 and trains leaders to guide their teachers in ensuring effective daily lesson alignment to standards and to assessments in ways that will drive student learning, as well as how to monitor that planning to see which parts are working and which aren’t, and how to coach teachers to master the skills they need to make their planning consistently effective.
