• Student Learning Improvement Plans drafted by school districts in the Skagit County-used to guide actions within those districts and offered here as models;
  
  
• Frameworks in Science and Social Studies (K-10) developed by county teachers linking the state identified standards for grades 4,7, and 10;

• Content Enhancement Organizers and Routines (K-12) created by local teachers to provide a clear map of course academic, behavioral, and group standards for their peers, students, and parents; Unit Organizers and Maps (K-12) made by local teachers to graphically plan sequential units clearly connected to the course standards-meant to ensure opportunites to learn and practice required concepts; Lesson Organizers (K-12) to graphically display goals, instructional activities and assessments--connecting all three; and Teaching Routines (Concept Anchoring, Concept Mastery, Concept Comparison, and Framing) to help students best meet the lesson standards;
  
  
• Performance Assessment Packets (K-12) in science, social studies, writing and math-all with scoring guides, student response forms, and teacher directions. Each package is clearly aligned with the Washington State Essential Academic Learnings;
  
  
• Information about the Skagit Valley Network --a bit of history about this wonderfully productive six year collaboration among all the public schools in Washington's Skagit County.

Please note that all the work created here was done by teachers chosen from each participating district. These teachers are known for their professionalism and dedication to improving student learning. Many of the participants have worked over 15 years in their classrooms; they are highly regarded. This work has been published here for use by other teachers; feel free to print, borrow, or change anything you find.
