Sample scopes of work
What are these scopes?
How we address equity
Our work is grounded in the intersection of standards, content, aligned curriculum, and equity. Our professional learning opportunities have objectives tied to the knowledge and skills required to deliver rigorous, grade-level instruction and the necessary mindsets to overcome systemic bias. We ask educators to unpack the standards and shifts while equally understanding the role of bias and examining their own biases. We name actions that can be taken to counteract the effects of bias. We also empower educators to understand their role in their systems to effect change and improve student outcomes.
Why is this important?
How we build district capacity
UnboundEd builds local capacity by working concurrently with teachers, coaches, building leaders, and district supervisors from the same district, ensuring that all careholder groups are aligned to a common vision of instructional excellence. We focus on teacher planning routines and the leadership structures that support them, which are foundational and replicable long after a district engagement ends.
Why is this important?
How we provide curriculum-aligned PL
Workshops
Our Standards Institute is an immersive professional learning experience that promotes a greater understanding of the standards while delivering practical instructional strategies. Our Summits, delivered virtually or in-person, provide an interactive learning experience focusing on the mindset and planning required for implementing grade-level, engaging, affirming, and meaningful — GLEAM™ — instruction.
Coaching
Our cohort program provides ongoing support in using UnboundEd content and context within the district systems. There are also individual professional learning sessions & communication to support the leader’s actions toward an identified problem of practice.
PLCs
Our Cohort program uses Virtual Learning Experiences (VLEs), where participants engage in content with educators from across the country, and Cross-Pollination sessions, where participants attend sessions and collaborate with other district team members.
Consultations
Through our GLEAM™ Inventory classroom visits, participants learn about GLEAM™, apply that learning in their context, and then receive guided support to take action. A report is sent to support their efforts.
