This three-hour, self-paced course is designed for individuals and teams who are building or revising program curriculum for ABE ELA classes. It covers key terms, expectations, and processes related to ELA curriculum products (i.e., Scope & Sequence, unit plans, sample lesson plans, and teacher guidance). It targets ACLS-approved tools for each product.

Instructional leaders guiding the ELA curriculum work for a program are encouraged to complete this course prior to constructing their curriculum team and planning the work. Completion of this course will enable them to form an effective curriculum team and map out a process and schedule for the work.
