ANet is a nonprofit dedicated to the premise that every child in America deserves an excellent education and the opportunities it provides. We pursue our vision of educational equality in America by helping schools boost student learning with great teaching that is grounded in standards, informed by data, and built on the successful practices of educators around the country.

Pursuing instructional priorities as a team

Blog

As a mission-driven nonprofit organization, our primary concern is helping ensure equitable opportunity for all students.

Working alongside schools, we’ve learned that great teaching is grounded in standards, data, and insights shared among educators. We believe a blog can help us make a difference by spreading the ideas and effective practices of educators we work with.

We’re proud of the expertise our team has built over our ten years, and we'll be featuring contributions from ANetters across the org on topics in which they’ve immersed themselves.

Help us spread opportunity for all students: please share posts that you find valuable with your colleagues. And please add your thoughts in the comments: we would love this blog to facilitate knowledge-sharing in all directions.

Pursuing instructional priorities as a team

The amazing team at Springfield Public Day Middle School!

Springfield Public Day Middle School, in Springfield, Massachusetts, kicked off the year by putting their instructional priorities front and center—and making sure everyone is aligned in pursuing them. 

Teachers and leaders gathered to analyze Student Achievement Partners’ Core Actions videos for instructional practices they want to prioritize. Then they reviewed the leadership team’s plan for advancing those priorities through PD, observation, and sharing data weekly.  

The session helped the math and ELA teams orient themselves to their instructional priority definitions of success. The teams will refer back to those definitions throughout the year and update their walkthrough tool as they advance their priorities. We look forward to seeing their progress!
