Description¶

The guide recommends structuring master schedules so teachers in shared-curriculum teams get protected collaboration time. It specifies that "Teachers in shared-content (i.e. shared curriculum) teams will need at least 90 minutes per week with instructional experts to analyze student work, plan instruction using high-quality curricular materials, and identify opportunities to reinforce social-emotional skills during lessons."
