Collaborative for Teaching and Learning

We are honored to announce that the Collaborative for Teaching and Learning (CTL) has been awarded a highly competitive U.S. Department of Education Assistance for Arts Education (AAE) grant to expand arts-integrated learning opportunities for more than 2,700 K–8 students in Michigan over the next five years.

Learning has more than one doorway. This summer, CTL and CS Partners are beginning Arts for All—a shared effort to explore how literacy and the arts can help more students enter, investigate, and express learning. We will share practical strategies, educator reflections, and lessons from implementation as the story develops.

It all starts with a PALETTE of possibilities, the courage to LEAP into something new, the RHYTHM of daily practice, and meaningful learning can take center STAGE. Thank you CS Partners for joining us on this journey!

we've been busy this suMmer preparIng for an exCiting new project! Here in louIsville the ctl ganG hAs poured their hearts aNd souls into this effort and we are ready to bring big impact to kids across this midwestern state. Any guess where we are headed?

Thank you to all who were able to join us yesterday as we explored the intervention opportunity brings to Indiana K-8 schools.

When students continue to count, guess, or avoid basic facts, the impact does not stay in one grade level.

It shows up in multi-step problem solving. It shows up in fraction work. It shows up in algebra readiness. It shows up in student confidence.

The good news is that HEA 1634 is making space for Indiana schools to address this well worn path with a coherent, practical plan. Download our free HEA 1634 Guide for Indiana Elementaries and Middle Schools: https://zurl.co/DAKNz

HEA 1634 changes the conversation about mathematics in Indiana, but it isn't necessarily about doing more—it's about doing what works.

Case in point: Students build stronger mathematical foundations when instruction combines explicit strategy instruction, meaningful practice, and ongoing formative assessment.

School and district leaders can help educators rethink what procedural fluency looks like through this lens.

We'll dive in on July 27th. Register for our upcoming webinar here: https://zurl.co/hloez
