How to Use a Curriculum Storyboard Approach to Design Compelling Learning Journeys

The curriculum as it currently stands is often untenable, bloated, overly detailed and uninspiring. An innovative shift is using a storyboarding approach that employs visual imagery and language to hook students’ imaginations. We'll highlight examples, insights, and energy that teachers and leaders experience in the development of storyboarding.

You'll leave able to: - Evaluate sample curriculum storyboards that feature core elements. - Generate initial draft of a storyboard using coaching guidance. - Access to resources to support your curriculum storyboards. - Understand strategies for engaging the school community in the development process.
