Fix the Plan, Empower the TeacherEdition 1

When great teaching doesn't lead to great learning, the problem often lies in fragmented planning—not teacher performance.

This book introduces the Instructional Coherence Model, showing educators how to align curriculum, instruction, assessment, and support into unified learning progressions. It includes ready-to-use templates for immediate classroom implementation, offering practical frameworks that help educators integrate principles of coherence, inclusivity, and disciplinary rigor into daily lesson design. Readers will learn to:

• Design learning journeys that build deep understanding over time
• Connect standards to classroom experiences
• Implement High-Impact Teaching Strategies (HITS) alongside disciplinary thinking

This isn't another initiative—it's a practical framework for creating educational experiences where every component works together, empowering K–12 educators to shift from improving instruction to designing coherent learning systems that ensure all students succeed.
