Bridge to Curriculum has some NEW dynamic changes, based on teacher feedback, that have been added to enhance the teaching and learning cycle.

NEW!!! Professional LEARNING Library in the Bridge to Curriculum!

We are so excited to announce a brand new module in the Bridge to Curriculum. The Professional Learning Library has over 500 just-in-time learning opportunities. You can find articles, videos of Jeffco teachers, and even face-to-face and virtual professional learning opportunities throughout the district. You will find all of your professional learning needs and wants located here in the Bridge to Curriculum. Anyone can contribute to the Professional Learning Library. Just use the "Create a Professional Learning Button" from the Professional Learning Library page.

REARRANGING UNits of Study

Horizontal Movement of Year at a Glance (YAAGs): You now have the ability to move your Units of Study horizontally. After you have loaded all of your YAAGs, go to the home page and use the arrows to move units.

Please consider the following when reordering of Units of Study:

Jeffco’s curriculum and Units of Study are currently paced to build on subsequent learning and scaffolded for future learning.
Thoughtful conversations and planning are essential across grade levels, schools, and articulation areas. These conversations should address common pacing and assessment, equity of learning and potential learning gaps in our high mobility schools, and alignment for continued PLC dialogue.
Reordering Units of Study allow for flexibility in planning PBL, inquiry based, and cross curricular units based on student, community and school need.

Vertical Movement of YAAGs

Vertical movement of YAAGs: You now have the ability to drag and drop your YAAGs vertically. This allows teachers to customize YAAGs to better align with how they plan. Some users might want the units of study to follow the students’ daily schedule while others appreciate grouping like contents. After you have loaded all of your YAAGs, go to the home page and use the arrows to move units.

Evidence Outcome Map

This map can help examine how often Desired Results appear in each unit over the entire year. You can examine individual units in order to verify and streamline Evidence Outcomes and Desired Results. This map will support planning on the unit level exponentially.
