Shorter scope and sequence for 165-day school year

# data[].attributes.body
Pacing has been a challenge over the past three years.

# data[].attributes.body
Most LEA will be exited to hear about the alignment to the TEKS and the adjusted Scope and Sequence.

# data[].attributes.body
I think teachers will appreciate a scope and sequence that is more closely aligned to their total instructional days

# data[].attributes.headline
Teachers and coaches will be excited about the grade levels with reduced units that will best fit within a shorter school year. Knowing the HQIM is specific to Texas and the TEKS will be something stakeholders value about BL RLA.

I think the shift to Bluebonnet will enhance the work I do as a Product Advisor because it will allow us to dig deeper and make connections such as similarities and differences as well as connections to STAAR.

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers and coaches will likely be excited about the ready-to-use, high-quality lessons that save planning time and align with research and standards.

# data[].attributes.body
I’m curious about how teacher and coach feedback will continue to be gathered and used to refine the materials moving forward.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that much of the coaching / support will be similar. I think the updates will actually benefit the support to coaches and teachers and make student success more attainable

# data[].attributes.body
I will need to be well versed in the changes so I can help LEA be aware of changes. My role right now will be very similar but I also see a need to connect with IA especially in the beginning to address scope and sequences, assessment calendars, overall implementation processes, systems and protocols.

I believe the pacing is going to be something everyone is excited about. We have so many districts going to a 4-day school week and it has been difficult to figure out how all of that is going to work.

Will bluebonnet have a live chat option like Amplify Elementary Literacy Program has. We were able to type questions in the chat and get answers in real time.

# data[].attributes.body
Some teachers will feel the loss of texts being moved out of their grade level (e.g. fifth grade Shakespeare --> 6th grade)

# data[].attributes.body
I think the shift to Bluebonnet will require more front-loading and professional learning around the enhancements made, the purpose behind them, and the impact they may have on teacher practice, understanding, and planning.

Optional foundations skills for 3rd grade will be helpful for additional tier 2 instruction.

# data[].attributes.body
I think teachers, coaches, and school leaders will be really excited with the alignment to the TEKS as well as the adjusted scope and sequence to more closely match their instructional calendar!!

# data[].attributes.body
Many of the changes will affect overall LEA systems and protocols. Working closely with the IA will support building their capacity in Bluebonnet will support the adaptive and technical changes for the LEA during this transition.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that with BL, it is going to be easier to articulate the why of the materials since they were reviewed by Texas educators for Texas educators, and therefore, the materials align to TEKS, therefore, STAAR rigor.

# data[].attributes.body
One technical challenge I anticipate is helping teachers navigate where to find things in the updated materials. With new documents and tools, there’s going to be a learning curve. I’ll need to guide teams through the structure, show them how to use the internalization protocols, and help them feel confident accessing what they need.

Access to Spanish materials. Many of our LEA have populations that would benefit from these materials. I'm wondering about the other supporting resources that Amplify provided...will Bluebonnet provide similar resourses for LEA?

Can BL be extended to summer school?

Accessing materials. Many LEA will drop in their platforms (like Clever), but in general time to navigate the materials will be helpful. I'm wondering about some of the content covered in Knowledge Units...For example 4th Grade reads Number the Stars that is aligned with 5th Grade Social Studies...we will need to be prepared to address questions teachers/LEA will have about content.

# data[].attributes.body
How does Bluebonnet address STAAR alignment and connections?

# data[].attributes.body
It will require closer collaboration to make sure the message is the same.

# data[].attributes.body
For districts that were using the CER, I'll be able to support them in the transition by clarifying what enhancements have been made and why. I will need to internalize the units, lessons, and alignment to be prepared to answer their questions and support planning and implementation.

# data[].attributes.body
How can we guide districts that are hoping to omit lessons with overtly religious texts (For example, Kinder Unit 7 Lesson 7 "The Good Samaritan." 1st Grade Unit 1 Lesson 9: "The Prodigal Son", or 5th Grade Unit 5 Lesson 5 "The Psalm of David")? We know as Product Advisors that units build on each other, and omitting lessons can cause issues later in the unit or omit key standards from instruction. Please advise on how we can guide districts in these concerns while maintaining fidelity to the product. Thank you!

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder how to support DL/BIL classrooms since materials will be piloted.

# data[].attributes.body
We were guided to suggest that districts opt out of completing the embedded BOY, MOY, and EOY benchmarks in Amplify (kinder-2nd grade) because they were so similar to mCLASS. This was an option for our districts using mCLASS as a way to help with pacing. Is that still an option with Bluebonnet?

If new to BL HQIM there may be greater level of work in supporting teachers with the shift to reading aloud more in upper grades. Helping them through navigating when to read aloud and when Students read texts can be a challenging shift. This will require my role as a PA to be prepared for differences based on experience with prior versions of CER or other.
