Created by teachers for teachers, and based on college and career readiness standards, the EL Education Language Arts curriculum is a comprehensive, research-informed, core language arts program that engages teachers and students through compelling, real-world content. This language arts curriculum which includes 48 modules and units of study from EL Education has been added to Open Space.
Each module contains 3 units with multiple lesson plans, guiding questions and big ideas, connections to other subject areas, technology and multimedia recommendations, assessments and performance tasks, and ideas for involving the community or experts. Modules also include ideas for introducing fieldwork, service learning, and other extensions.
The content for grades 6-8 ELA has been rated green or “meets expectations” from EdReports, meaning it’s met several quality indicators for text quality and complexity, building knowledge, and usability.
Open Space is a curriculum curation and collaboration tool from INFOhio that empowers educators to build community through groups, access curated collections, search for freely accessible instructional materials, and curate and share resources that promote innovative and collaborative learning.
