Teachers at East have been diligently overhauling their curriculum since 2015. "East" is actually a pair of secondary schools consisting of a Lower School, grades 6-8, and an Upper School, grades 9-12. The curriculum work began as part of a partnership between the Rochester City School District and the University of Rochester to enable East to remain open as it entered into receivership. This mission-driven curriculum undertaking follows the Understanding by Design (Wiggins, McTighe, Kiernan, & Frost, 1998) model. Our work consists of curriculum that is adapted, adopted, or created from a wide variety of sources. While only a sampling of materials is presented here, East has written curriculum for all content areas grades 6-12. Curriculum that is culturally relevant and rigorous is a strong area of interest now. To be maximally useful to practitioners, the teaching materials provided here are intended to be downloadable as documents that can be modified. Care has been taken to provide attribution for non-original materials to the extent that we are able. Please see https://www.elevatededucator.org/ for more details on the curriculum and learning experiences we have developed for Grade 11 United States History and Government.
