SFUSD is recruiting selected sites and teachers to pilot 6-8th E/LA curricular resources from EL Education (formerly Expeditionary Learning). The pilot will include 1-2 “All In” sites as well as a cohort of 20-30 “independent” teachers.  

Participants in the Pilot will:

• receive professional development and all instructional materials for the full year
• be an integral part of the feedback and evaluation process to inform possible pilot expansion and/or adoption
• commit to participate the full length of the pilot
• commit to implement the curriculum with fidelity

Curriculum & Instruction will:

• provide all texts (core and supplemental) for the full year of instruction
• contract with EL Education, who will provide professional development and implementation support for all participating teachers and administrators
• partner with internal and external partners to research and evaluate the success of the pilot
• provide substitutes and stipends for participating teachers and administrators to cover additional hours worked
• serve as a liaison between sites and EL Education to ensure smooth communication and support
