AISD’s new curriculum documents seek to…

foster equitable learning experiences for all students by ensuring consistency of instruction across our large district.
provide focus and clarity for what we teach and how we know students have learned in order to produce positive, equitable academic outcomes for all students.

Structured Conversation Strategies

During structured academic conversations, students practice skills such as elaborating and clarifying, supporting their ideas with examples, and building on or challenging each other's understandings. The best part of structured academic conversation is that ALL students participate.
