why you'll love it

When it comes to planning instruction, two things matter most to teachers: effectively covering what is crucial and maximizing time. lead4ward Field Guides do just that … and more.

Field Guides help teachers and PLCs by:

• Building content knowledge and better understanding of the context in which each student expectation fits into the big picture, as well as the specifics that inform instruction
• Examining common misconceptions and error patterns for planning proactive instruction and intervention
• Unlocking ideas for approaching and addressing the content and process standards, including the new Science and revised Social Studies TEKS
• Informing instructional conversations and collaboration in PLCs

what you get

Field Guides support meaningful instruction aligned to student expectations with:
