This session focuses on aligning academic language from standards with clear, inclusive learning intentions. Participants will explore strategies for planning instruction that supports diverse learners, including English Learners and students with disabilities, using Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles. The session will also cover selecting accommodations that allow students to demonstrate proficiency without reducing rigor. Attendees will leave with practical tools to ensure all students can access and achieve academic success.

Clear learning intentions and success criteria are critical for helping students engage in meaningful learning experiences, especially in career and technical education. This session will explore how teacher clarity—explicitly defining what students are learning, why it matters, and how they will demonstrate mastery—can transform CTE classrooms. Educators will examine strategies for writing clear learning objectives, making success criteria explicit, and ensuring students understand their progress in both technical and employability skills. Participants will engage in hands-on activities to refine their own learning intentions and apply them to their instruction.

Curriculum maps serve as the foundation for high-quality instruction, ensuring alignment with state standards, industry expectations, and student learning needs. In this session, educators will review and refine their submitted curriculum maps, focusing on essential elements such as instructional sequencing, industry connections, and student skill development. Using a guided review process, participants will work in small groups to analyze each section of their maps, identify gaps, and refine learning objectives. The goal is to enhance clarity, strengthen industry alignment, and ensure that each map serves as a functional tool for instruction.
