Design Impactful Instruction

Support teachers with designing learning targets and instructional plans that respond to the different ways students learn and their individual needs.

Research-Based Best Practices

Empower teachers to identify learning barriers and apply effective strategies based on research to ensure all students can access the general curriculum.

Standards-Based Design

We take each college and career readiness standard and create specific and measurable learning goals aligned to the standard. We presume competence and write the first goal at a grade level expectation.

Breadth of Content

We take each state and Common Core standard, identify its “Essential” – or “Core Purpose” – and create IEP goals, resources, and strategies. Our repository includes content for Pre-K to Grade 12 in Reading, Writing, Math, and Speech, in addition to Behavior, Social and Emotional Learning, Autism, Occupational Therapy, Alternate Academic and Life Skills, and Transition.

Multiple Levels of Support

We use strategies and supports aligned to the UDL framework to develop scaffolded instruction at mild, moderate and intense levels of support. Every standard has adapted goals so that teachers can start at the most appropriate level for students.

Instructional Strategies

Aligned instructional strategies and resources aid teachers as they plan instruction. We place strategies at the fingertips of teachers to maximize access to the standards for every student.

Use the menu bar across the top of the page to navigate to the Toolkit section of the Website.

Then click on "Instructional Resources" to look at goals or strategies.

Browsing the Goal Respository gives you the ability to filter goals by subject, grade level, and topic or standard.

Goal subjecs include:

• reading
  
• writing
  
• math
  
• behavior and SEL
  
• pre-kindergarten
  
• English learners
  
• autism
  
• speech and language
  
• success skills
  
• transition
  
• occupational therapy
  
• alt academic and life skills
  

Clicking on one of the goals brings up a new page with a sample goal for that topic/standard. You are able to completely edit and personalize the goal, as well as see examples of the same goal with increasing levels of support.

Once the goal has been edited and personalized, it can be saved to "My Library."

You can see all goals saved in your library, where you can filter by student, by favorites, or look at all goals that have been saved.

You can also search for goals for a specific student without having to browse through the entire goal repository. Click here for a short demo.
