How is this curriculum employing backwards design?

Mindset--> I can figure this out.

# data[].attributes.body
Instead of focusing on what's new I try to make connections to what I already know and can leverage

# data[].attributes.body
Review the assessment structure as one of the first steps; find, and read in full, program overview/curriculum guide

# data[].attributes.body
Read any "program or implementation guide" that may exist, read at least one unit's and a couple of lessons in full

# data[].attributes.body
It's helpful to spread out the learning over time and mapping out when I will do a deep dive on key components.

# data[].attributes.body
Connect with people who have taught the materials before as a final step

# data[].attributes.body
Approaching the new curriculum through the lens of myself as a teacher.  I review it as if I’m preparing to teach it to my students within the week.  I compare it to prior knowledge (i.e. prior curricula, teaching methods, etc.) while aligning with the key aspects of quality curriculum I look for based on research while naming how this new curriculum meets all of those needs.

Deep dive into one full unit/section/lesson using aligned protocols

# data[].attributes.body
there is benefit to following a really structured approach AND there is a benefit to getting lost in the materials - put on your teacher hat and your curriculum expert hat

jumping in & taking notes on noticings to begin. keeping notes in a centralized place so you can refer back to them, revise and update as you learn more

Approach with curiosity

Mindset: At some point, the knowledge building is critical. Texts must be read. Content knowledge must be built.

Understanding my learning style. What works for me, what are my gaps, how can I process information, etc?

Including curriculum onboarding in the specialist onboarding process is a great use of time; can forecast and back-map using onboarding plans

# data[].attributes.body
possible danger: misaligned understanding or vision

# data[].attributes.body
Critical part of HS ELA/any SS HQIM is knowledge building and having deep knowledge of text; must know the texts to understand the 'why' behind instructional strategies and practices in materials; this type of knowledge slows us down

# data[].attributes.body
connected bridge: getting clear on the curriculum designer's intent and how that meshes with our approach and beliefs at SchoolKit

# data[].attributes.body
Start with big picture understanding of the curriculum, and then get granular with specific units or lessons they need to know for content and facilitation.

# data[].attributes.body
possible danger: not going the right "level of depth" into the curriculum - what is the right level?

# data[].attributes.body
Build our own understanding of how deep you can ACTUALLY go into specific products, and where that differs - and make that clear to the person learning it

# data[].attributes.body
possible danger: maintaining the integrity of the curriculum

# data[].attributes.body
bridge: naming and understanding the non negotiables and key foundations of the curriculum and its processes for implementation

# data[].attributes.body
challenge/danger: there's a LOT of nuance not only in the materials but also in the client (realities of teachers' experiences)

# data[].attributes.body
we need to figure out and name the purpose and goal of curriculum onboarding

# data[].attributes.body
Not having a full understanding of team's curricular gaps - who knows what materials and how deeply

# data[].attributes.body
how do we get access to the right things we need to actually onboard?

# data[].attributes.body
what's the right balance of simplify/clarify while also acknowledging the nuance of each product?

# data[].attributes.body
Helping us move fast- leveraging onboarding plans that already exist and updating them / using the process with new materials.

Not having access to materials that are not free/open
