Phase 5: Rubrics, Templates, and Tools

Ensure adoption with usable templates and rhythms that fit your classrooms.

Curriculum succeeds only if teachers can implement it smoothly. Teachers need lessons that fit within the rhythm of actual classrooms, with clear structures, consistent routines, opportunities for flexible modifications, and ready-to-use student materials. We help teams create curriculum that is easy to understand and use.

Our sessions help you create clean templates and make design choices that simplify the writing process, resulting in lessons that are easy to understand and adapt. Teams emerge with ready-to-use lessons that include predictable lesson flows, clear directions, and well-organized resources. We build coherence through clean templates, consistent structures, exemplar lessons, and clear guidance for voice in lesson guidance. We distinguish between what is essential for coherence and what can be flexibly adapted so teachers maintain autonomy without losing alignment.

In action, this looks like:

  • Building user-friendly templates that reduce planning time

  • Establishing clear expectations around must-dos and flexible components

  • Identifying predictable routines that ground learning experiences

  • Pacing lessons appropriately for actual class periods

  • Writing clear teacher notes that support decision-making

  • Creating or selecting rubrics and related resources that reduce grading time
