UNITS OF STUDY

Oakland Schools led the development of the MAISA ELA Common Core-aligned units of study that were piloted and reviewed by teachers statewide. This multi-year project resulted in a comprehensive K-12 curriculum that is aligned not only to the standards, but also across grades. These units are not scripts but are guidelines for teachers; we encourage educators to adapt them for their population and context.

English Language Arts - To support planning for the 2020-2021 school year, the Oakland Schools Literacy team, alongside ELA teachers and district leaders, created a prioritized literacy scope and sequence, as well as suggestions for assessment, differentiation, and instruction that can be used in both face-to-face and virtual scenarios. It is our hope that teachers will find these resources to be helpful and flexible enough to allow individual teachers and teams to incorporate with previous curricula and resources
