We invite practitioners to read more about this model and join us on a professional journey that we believe will yield that joy and wisdom that comes from seeing the whole. To address the varying needs of teachers across the K-12 grade span-as well as different content areas-we decided to create a series of curriculum units, based on PCM, that could be used by practitioners. It is our hope that the lessons not only underscore important and discipline-specific content, but also illuminate the four parallels in unique and enduring ways."-From the IntroductionDesign exemplary language arts lessons based on the Parallel Curriculum Model!Want to create rigorous learning opportunities for students in language arts based on a deeper understanding of pedagogy and curriculum design?
