Presentation Description:  Quality curriculum development and implementation/teaching are the two variables under the control of the school that have the largest influence on student achievement (Tramaglini, 2010; Tanner & Tanner, 2007; Wang, et al, 1993). This workshop will introduce school administrators and their teacher leadership teams to key components and processes of the curriculum and instruction audit process. Seton Hall University’s Institute for International Schools, in partnership with leadership from The American School of Brasilia, will present the process through the lens of a school that took the leap toward organizational improvement. Participants will leave with practical ideas they can use to begin to audit their learning systems at the school or district level.
