b'Teachers are expected to pack way too much into a school day, and it can be tricky to sift through everything in the curriculum and figure out what\\u2019s most important (and relevant for your particular students).

Sally Berquist, a teaching veteran with 24 years of experience and writing instruction specialist, is going to share some strategies to help you identify clutter in your curriculum and simplify your lesson design to account for realistic cognitive load and time management.

As Sally shares, folks who write curriculum may be experts in content, but YOU are the expert on delivering that curriculum and implementing it in a way that works for your students.

If you\\u2019ve been overwhelmed by the amount of stuff you\\u2019re supposed to teach, I think you\\u2019ll find this conversation validating and also helpful in learning to view your curriculum through a lens of what\\u2019s developmentally appropriate and relevant for your students.
