In-Person Training

Blended Learning Model

Before the training day, participants complete two short asynchronous online modules:

1. The Core Knowledge Approach: An overview of the philosophy and principles that guide all Core Knowledge curricula.
2. Introduction to CKHG: A subject-specific orientation that builds a foundation in the design and features of CKHG.

These modules ensure that the in-person training day is maximized for active learning, collaboration, and application.

One-Day In-Person Training

• Engage: Experience high-quality CKHG instruction in action.
• Explore: Dive into the structure and supports within the curriculum.
• Envision: Create a pacing plan to ensure complete, coherent coverage of all CKHG units.

Outcome: Participants leave prepared to bring CKHG to life in their classrooms through purposeful planning and a deep understanding of the curriculum.

Blended Learning Model

Before the training day, participants complete two short asynchronous online modules:

1. The Core Knowledge Approach: An overview of the philosophy and principles that guide all Core Knowledge curricula.
2. Introduction to CKSci: A subject-specific orientation that introduces the design and features of CKSci.

These modules ensure participants arrive prepared, allowing the in-person day to focus on practice and application.

One-Day In-Person Training

• Engage: Experience high-quality CKSci instruction in action.
• Explore: Dive into the Teacher Guides, Student Books, investigations, and supporting resources to understand how they work together.
• Envision: Create a pacing plan to ensure complete, coherent coverage of all CKSci units across the school year.

Outcome: Teachers leave ready to implement CKSci with clarity and confidence, ensuring lessons build students’ scientific knowledge and practices.

Blended Learning Model

Before the training day, participants complete two short asynchronous online modules:

1. The Core Knowledge Approach: An overview of the philosophy and principles that guide all Core Knowledge curricula, including the importance of background knowledge, vocabulary, and coherent text sets.
2. Introduction to CKLA 6–8: A subject-specific orientation that builds a foundation in the design and features of CKLA for middle school: unit structure, complex text sets, writing tasks, discussion routines, and supports for diverse learners.

These modules ensure that the in-person training day is maximized for active learning, collaboration, and application.

One-Day In-Person Training

• Engage: Experience high-quality CKLA instruction in action by walking through a model lesson that integrates reading, writing, speaking, and listening.
• Explore: Dive into the Teacher Guides, Student Readers, Activity Books, and digital resources to understand how CKLA lessons build knowledge, vocabulary, and skills over time.
• Envision: Create a pacing and implementation plan that ensures complete, coherent coverage of CKLA units across the school year—including time for writing, discussion, and knowledge-building projects.

Outcome: Teachers leave ready to implement CKLA 6–8 with clarity and confidence, equipped with practical strategies to support close reading, academic vocabulary, evidence-based writing, and rich classroom discourse for all students.
