Essential Learning Trainer of Trainers
Designed for site and teacher leaders, teachers on special assignment, resource teachers, and instructional coaches, the Trainer of Trainers Essential Learning Series will support the determination of essential learnings as part of the curriculum design process. It is facilitated by the Curriculum and Instruction department at the San Diego County Office of Education.
During the two-day event participants will learn about the importance of a guaranteed and viable curriculum and the steps for determining essential learnings, which include:
Unpacking to identify concepts and skills embedded in each standard to foster deep understanding of standards before determining if they contain aspects of essential learnings
Identifying and prioritizing essential learnings
Creating a scope and sequence
