Priority Content for the 2020-2021 School Year

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
These documents name instructional content priorities in mathematics (K-8, high school) and ELA/literacy (K-12). These were developed for the 2020-21 academic year in response to the disruption of the global pandemic of COVID-19.* They provide guidance for the field about the content priorities by leveraging the structure and emphases of college- and career-ready mathematics and ELA/literacy standards. They are intended to help publishers, other designers of instructional materials, and instructional leaders find new efficiencies in the curriculum that are critical for the unique challenges that have resulted from school closures and anticipated disruptions in the year ahead, keeping at the forefront principles of equitable instruction.

All of the guidance is designed to support planning and decision making. Due to the structural differences between the grade-specific (K-8 mathematics, K-12 ELA/literacy) and course-specific (high school mathematics) guidance, the high school mathematics resource was developed separately. The high school mathematics content was designed in close partnership with Asia Franks and Jaliyla Fraser.
*Note: Send Feedback While these documents were created for the 2020-21 academic year, they remain helpful for those setting academic priorities for the 2021-22 school year. Given the incredible variability of the 2020-21 school year, to maximize the effectiveness of this guidance, the recommendations should be examined and adjusted based on the specific knowledge educators have about what students were able to accomplish and what may need additional attention. In the 2021-22 school year, educators must take into account the unique needs of students and continue to use strong formative assessment practices to understand where there is unfinished learning and to support students in engaging with grade-level content. For more information on academic acceleration and prioritization, integrated scaffolds and support, human-centered learning environments, culturally relevant pedagogy, and methods for understanding student progress, see our Priorities for Equitable Instruction: 2021 & Beyond page.

Catalyzing Change in High School Mathematics

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced schools across the country to confront unprecedented challenges. And the longer schools remain closed-likely through the end of the academic year in most states-the higher the stakes become for next school year.

To tackle these challenges, school systems must focus on the strategies proven to accelerate student learning. Even imperfect attempts to accelerate learning back to grade level will create far better school experiences for many students than what they received before the crisis.
The key is doing the right planning for the new school year, right now.
We've created the following guidance to help school and district stakeholders responsible for that planning, organized around a few key questions:

1. How do we create a plan to accelerate student learning?

2. How do we accelerate student learning in the next two years?

3. What other challenges should we be anticipating as we plan to accelerate student learning?

This guide will help you figure out how to go about answering these guiding questions and assembling the people, information, and processes needed to plan for restarting school.
