Our literacy work is anchored in HMH Into Reading (K–6) and Into Literature (6–12). The walkthrough tool below helps school leaders and coaches observe and support consistent implementation of the core literacy components.
A four-part cycle: a pre-walkthrough planning conversation, a component checklist for the classroom visit, and a post-walkthrough reflection. Components vary from lesson to lesson and are informed by unit pacing — not every component will appear in a single lesson.
Our Multi-Tiered System of Supports framework for literacy — including tiered intervention guidance and the referral process — will be published in this section. Check back soon.
Learn MoreOur high schools use the Illustrative Mathematics (IM) curriculum, a problem-based program built around student discourse. Everything below — curriculum, pacing, guidance documents, and family resources — is free and open to families.
The IM Curricula for Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2 can be accessed for free here:
