If you’ve ever felt like you’re being told to “do more writing” without anyone actually showing you where it fits, this episode is for you. Today, Caitlin is joined by a familiar voice—our membership manager, Genevieve and a real classroom teacher using a district-mandated curriculum and EB Academics side by side. We share a simple, three-layer framework for using EB resources with district-mandated ELA curricula without losing alignment, pacing, or sanity.
• Keeping district texts while upgrading activities
• Replacing weak writing lessons with the EB writing approach
• Using writing as a thinking framework for discussion
• Adding grammar games, vocabulary, and quick routines
• Mapping the year around assessments and standards
• Leveraging graphic organizers, sentence stems, and checks
• Aligning with admin priorities and showing results
• Low-risk pilot option for campus or team trials
