Following the rollout of curriculum blueprints for remote instruction, Austin ISD’s academic team sought feedback. The team surveyed teachers and students in October of 2020 and then again in December of 2020, helping to surface trends in usage, as well as problems and opportunities for improvement.
To create curriculum blueprints for teachers to use for their remote instruction during the pandemic, Austin ISD’s academics team restructured their coaching model. By integrating coaches across subject-areas, they were able to more effectively and efficiently create blueprints for teachers of content focused on prioritizing standards. The team formed micro-teams called “Blue Crews” to organize creating the blueprints.
To support the roll-out and adoption of Austin ISD’s curriculum blueprints, the academic team created a simple one-page internal guide for designing the blueprints. This guide played a pivotal role in ensuring a baseline of quality as well as consistency across subject areas and grade levels, contributing to wide adoption of the blueprints by teachers during remote learning.
To support remote learning instruction, Austin ISD developed curriculum blueprints that offered targeted, district-vetted resources aligned to priority standards.
