Curriculum Design for Writing Instruction:
Creating Standards-Based Lesson Plans and Rubrics (2005, Corwin Press)
 Design innovative and engaging lessons and units that produce measurable gains!
This clever new resource takes the reader step-by-step through the curriculum design process: from identifying national and local standards and translating them into user-friendly language to crafting meaningful writing assignments and assessments that effectively reveal student strengths and weaknesses.
Rooted in the six-traits model of instruction and assessment and illuminated by relevant classroom examples, Glass's four-part process shows teachers how to:
- Identify grade-level content standards for writing
- Create a teacher rubric with a clear set of criteria for writing assessment
- Craft a student checklist that guides students through the unit and prepares them for teacher expectations
- Design lessons that help students achieve success
Replete with tools, strategies, examples and reproducibles, Curriculum Design for Writing Instruction is a valuable resource for any teacher who wants to boost student achievement in writing for any subject and for any grade level!
Curriculum Mapping: A Step-by-Step Guide for Creating Curriculum Year Overviews (2007, Corwin Press)
 Create a curriculum overview that defines a comprehensive instructional path for the school year!
Kathy Tuchman Glass, a recognized curriculum expert, leads readers step-by-step through the journey of developing a curriculum year overview or curriculum map. Using this process to delineate all they need to teach in a given school year, teachers can establish meaningful connections between content areas, account for district or state content standards, and personalize their overview with specific information that includes:
- School adopted texts and related materials
- Subject-specific resources and materials
- Interdisciplinary connections
- Guiding questions
- Skills and assessments
"After reading [Curriculum Mapping], I felt that I had the knowledge and tools to show my teachers how they might create their own personal 'curriculum guides' and have meaningful collaboration with other teachers to coordinate instruction both horizontally and vertically."
—Margo Gibson, Principal, Jemison High School, Jemison, AL
