Comprehensive Learning System™ ...

The Comprehensive Learning System™ is a series of two-day work sessions where teachers are led through a customized process of designing curriculum and instruction for actively engaging students in their learning. Teachers are led through the curriculum alignment, lesson design and differentiated instruction planning process using a uniquely designed Universal Design for Learning model.

Through this process teacher's clearly define...

 - key concepts

- essential understandings

- critical assessments

- alignment to standards, and

- critical, literacy and differentiated learning strategies

The CLS design process leads staff in the direction of a school-wide systemic approach for meeting the needs of all learners.  The CLS process takes staff beyond knowing what best practice and research-based strategies are, to applying theory into practice through carefully planned units of instruction.
