Partnering with school districts to develop local curriculum as the foundation for teaching and learning.

Achieving gains in student success begins with developing a local curriculum. But, that’s just the beginning…

Feel confident you’re doing the right things the right way.

When you work with a CLI consultant, they will provide the tools you need to improve scores, improve your school culture, and bridge the gap between compliance with state requirements, making professional development meaningful for your teachers.

Make a Positive Impact on Learning

Create a foundation for learning so teachers can analyze student success and identify ways to improve. Your students will be better prepared for life after high school because well-educated kids lead to successful adults.

Create Systems

All Teachers Use

When teachers in all content areas, schools, and grade levels use the same processes for the alignment of curriculum, instruction, and assessment practices, it becomes an expectation that “this is how we do things here.”

Meet Accreditation Requirements

Make your next accreditation visit a breeze with an organization system that includes evidence of your curriculum, instruction, and assessment practices and procedures.

“Our district has grown immensely through the process of identifying and building out our curriculum. The readiness and willingness to answer questions at the drop of a hat has been incredibly valuable for us.”​

Instructional Facilitator and Assistant Principal,
Lincoln County School District #1, WY

The CLI Model

The CLI Model is a comprehensive, in-depth process for creating lasting systems in the development and improvement of curriculum, instruction, and assessment within your district. The CLI Model includes phases for curriculum, instruction, and assessment, with the work being governed by a council so decisions do not lie on the shoulders of just one person.

CLI Model

Governance

Governance is the structure for overseeing teaching and learning within your district. It is the foundation that each district needs to be successful in all other phases.

Assessment

The next phase of the model is creating and validating common assessments aligned with the new local curriculum. During this phase, the Subject Area Committee will receive detailed training in the areas of assessment construction, administration, and scoring.

​

Curriculum

In Year 1 of the model, your consultant will guide representative teachers of a single content area (the Subject Area Committee) through the process of creating a local, research-based K-12 curriculum that is aligned horizontally, vertically, and with state or other required standards.

Instruction

Finally, the tools are in place for teachers to align their instruction and analyze assessment data to continuously improve their teaching. Collaborative teams, like PLCs, can use these documents to discuss what's working and what needs to be improved.
