Skyline 101
Develop an understanding of Skyline’s key instructional shifts and core components, and how they empower you to enrich your students’ learning experiences. We encourage you to review the schedule & register as soon as possible! Skyline 101 is required in-person training for teachers & coaches new to Skyline.

Unit Internalization

During these sessions you will:
  • Study the unit to deeply understand (1) the big ideas students are expected to learn, (2) the arc of learning over the unit, and (3) how students will be assessed summatively and formatively along the way
  • Tailor instruction to meet the needs of students with unfinished learning, students with disabilities, and multilingual learners
  • Internalize the instructional practice shifts embedded in the curriculum by experiencing a lesson immersion
