Capsule PD Session
Launch: Bringing Eureka Math2 to Life
Teachers new to math curriculum will investigate the structure, design, and components of Eureka Math2 while engaging with the curriculum's print and digital resources. Teachers will explore the instructional role of all the curriculum resources and be prepared to facilitate lessons with students.
To make the most of Arts & Letters, teachers must internalize the curriculum before implementation. The Arts & Letters preparation protocols support this internalization as teachers build a deep understanding of the curriculum, which strengthens planning, pacing, lesson delivery, and instructional scaffolding.
What is a knowledge-building curriculum? Why does Arts & Letters build knowledge? And how can teachers use knowledge to foster literacy? This session explores the relationship between knowledge and literacy, the Arts & Letters approach to knowledge building, and how Arts & Letters teachers can make knowledge stick in their classrooms.
This session helps educators develop a deep understanding of a fundamental aspect of the Arts & Letters learning design—its process for reading complex texts. Teachers explore the five Content Stages and how each stage builds an important habit of mind to help students closely read complex texts.
The session explains how Arts & Letters develops strong writers through writing models, text-based writing tasks, explicit writing instruction, oral rehearsal, carefully sequenced module tasks, and daily writing activities. It also gives teachers a chance to examine the writing progression in their grade levels’ modules.
This Learning Lab offers a chance to explore the Arts & Letters approach to speaking and listening. Arts & Letters enhances students oral communication skills through explicit instruction, carefully sequenced skills, opportunities for practice in regular academic conversations, Socratic seminars and oral presentations, and tools and resources to support and track learning.
Arts & Letters recognizes that when students know more words, they can better develop skills in reading, writing, and speaking and listening. This session provides teachers a chance to dive into the Arts & Letters approach to word learning, as well as an opportunity to explore how best to harness the power of resources like the Knowledge Deck Cards and the Word Analysis Chart to foster students’ vocabulary growth.
This session explains how Arts & Letters supports teachers in meeting the needs of multilingual learners, students with language-based disabilities, and those in need of extra support to meet grade-level expectations. Arts & Letters builds supportive scaffolds into the design and approach of core lessons and in the optional preteaching opportunities provided by Prologue.
Please have your print or digital Teach book and any applicable handouts available for each session.
