So much to celebrate in CLI districts! Educators are making student-centered decisions, collaborating with purpose, and growing their practice every day. We are grateful to be a trusted partner in their journey as they bring their vision for students to life.

Instructional planning is the heart of intentional, meaningful learning. The IPR helps teachers connect curriculum to purposeful instruction and respond to the needs of their students. ❤️

Schools thrive when they have a clear path forward. The CLI Model brings clarity to curriculum, instruction, and assessment while providing the governance structure that holds it all together. When everyone works from the same system, meaningful improvement becomes possible.

Leadership can be lonely. We have a source that explains how to be more effective in curriculum leadership. Click here for our free whitepaper: rpst.cc/P3vrP2

CLI the ninja hasn't been missing, he has been working on an exciting project. Any guesses what he’s been up to? Something is definitely in the works. 📷

So what has the CLI Ninja been working on? A question district leaders ask us all the time: "How do we develop local curriculum that is clear, coherent, and grounded in research?" This question sits at the heart of everything we do, and has guided what we’ve been building.

The CLI Ninja has been busy. The work has been intentional. And tomorrow, we are ready to share what we have been building. Big news is coming. Check in with CLI tomorrow! In the meantime, check out our website! cliweb.org

Today, we’re launching our updated Curriculum Notebook, a training guide to support districts developing curriculum locally. Strong curriculum isn’t purchased. It’s built by educators, grounded in standards, research, and real classrooms. Preview it here➡️rpst.cc/7F49ZU

This spring, CLI will attend the School Research Nexus Elite Symposium SRNexusTweets We value spaces where K–12 leaders engage with research, slow down, and think together about system-level work that matters. #EducationalLeadership #K12Leadership #CurriculumLeadership

Funding does not automatically lead to better outcomes. Alignment does. This has been the heart of CLI’s work with districts for more than three decades. cliweb.org/serviceoptions

If your district is thinking carefully about how to use funding to strengthen student learning, CLI is ready to partner with you. We are not a program. We are a process that builds internal capacity and honors your students, your community, and your educators.

In many districts, curriculum and instruction get blended together, and that’s where confusion begins. Curriculum defines the expectations. Instruction brings them to life. When teams share clarity about the WHAT, teachers have freedom in the HOW.

I met with Thayer Central's amazing Curriculum Director today for a CLI coaching session. Tricia does an incredible job staying organized, supporting school improvement efforts, and using best practices in CIA activities. I look forward to our next visit!

Inconsistent expectations are one of the quietest risks in a district. Two schools. Same standards. Different experiences. If a student moved schools tomorrow, would the expectations feel the same? What makes cross-building alignment hardest in your district?

Our Vice President, Emily, just finished recording a new episode of Leaning Into Leadership with Darrin M Peppard Ed.D. #RoadToAwesome We love opportunities to talk with leaders about clarity, alignment, and supporting educators. Stay tuned for the episode! #EdLeadership #RoadToAwesome

Adopting a resource does not mean the same thing as having a curriculum. On the Leaning into Leadership podcast, Darrin M Peppard Ed.D. #RoadToAwesome and Emily Makelky explain why district leaders must prioritize clarity and alignment to build truly coherent systems. leaning-into-leadership.captivate.fm

Leoti-Wichita County math teachers are putting the final touches on their local curriculum. The read-through gives the committee one more chance to critique the draft before it goes to the Curriculum Coordinating Council for approval.

CLI is excited to support The Grading Exchange: 20 Years in the Trenches, a podcast mini-series on ForwardED Network featuring Matt Townsley and Chad Lang, Ed.D. Recalibrate Educational Services LLC. The first episode launches Tuesday, March 17th at forwarded-network.captivate.fm

Hey Middle Grade Leaders! We have a quick question. If your 6–8 curriculum is “under construction,” what part needs reinforcement? We’re looking forward to conversations at NCMLE 'Moving the Middle Forward' NCMLE about building middle schools that challenge and support, not just maintain.
