In this Webinar

If we view curriculum and assessment choices as indicators of the direction in which our students are heading, most of us would agree that they’re currently traveling back to the 20th century. Clearly, we need to collectively step up our curriculum. Join authors Janet Hale and Michael Fisher as they offer strategic, practical insights into your school's curriculum mapping efforts and help you gradually upgrade your curriculum one unit at a time.
