CLAVES for Teachers

The CLAVES curriculum is structured around text and writing cycles that are designed to address big ideas about important and sometimes controversial topics. Throughout the course of a text or writing cycle, students are challenged to consider their stance on the cycle or unit topic. Each unit is comprised of two 6-day, text-based lesson cycles, and one 3-day writing cycle. See below for an overview of the unit structure.
