Action Guide for Educators: Coherence

Use this guide to build a coherent instructional program.

Many schools struggle to implement overlapping initiatives. As outlined in The Opportunity Makers, trajectory-changing schools ensure all efforts fit together so students know what to expect and how to succeed. Every piece of the school’s instructional program—curriculum, materials, interventions, and assessments—is thoughtfully designed and explicitly linked.  

This guide helps school leaders build a unified instructional program and set priorities that are clear to all members of the school community, including teachers, students, and caregivers.
