Planning and pacing

What features are available to supplement Amplify ELA implementation?

Backwards planning

To think strategically about planning your upcoming Amplify ELA unit, try backwards planning to keep the end in mind and make sure you’re meeting learning objectives efficiently! Watch our video on this strategy to learn more.

Differentiation

What kind of instruction is available for students who need additional support?

Flex Days

Starting in Unit B, every 4-6 lessons culminate wth the Amplify Flex Day. The Flex Days are an opportunity for you to provide students with needed grammar instruction and also support additional practice in a targeted area of reading, writing, or language. Teachers can review students’ EAM results and note recommended groupings for students to work within the Flex Day Activities that target key areas of reading, writing, discussion, and language skills — including activities specifically designed to support ELL students, as well as students who need fluency support.

During delivery

Your physical materials delivery is on its way.

Receiving your materials order.

  • You’ll receive a call in advance to schedule the 2–3 hour delivery window; express any special requests at this time.
  • Upon arrival at the school, the driver will check in at the main office and will ask where they should go to unload; confirm shipment location with the driver.
  • Have someone meet the driver at the designated unloading point to review the freight and sign the delivery receipt.
  • Reminder (if applicable): The lumper driver often arrives within 20-30 min.
After delivery

Your physical materials delivery has arrived on-site and has been distributed to classrooms.

Step 1: Unpack and inventory your classroom materials.

The following resources should be used to unbox, sort, and inventory your shipment into classroom quantities. Then, the Start Here guides should be shared with teachers to help them organize and inventory their materials in preparation for the school year.
