Professional Development
We facilitate collaborative curriculum mapping and instructional planning sessions that align Tier 1 instruction to the Indiana Academic Standards and assessment data. Teachers leave with clear pacing guides, essential standards, and strategies to strengthen classroom instruction.
Coaching
Our team provides ongoing support to leadership and teacher teams to sustain momentum. We help schools refine their maps, analyze assessment data, and identify next steps to ensure fidelity of implementation. Have a specialist on call to answer your questions, help you problem-solve, and guide you in getting ahead of situations before they become urgent issues.
Consulting
From districtwide curriculum audits to assessment alignment reviews, we work with administrators to create systems and structures that guarantee equitable access to rigorous instruction for all students.
Why It Matters
When curriculum and assessment are aligned, teachers can teach with confidence and purpose—and students benefit from instruction that builds seamlessly from one grade to the next.
-
Instructional time is maximized.
-
Data becomes a tool for reflection, not compliance.
-
Students experience consistency, clarity, and deeper learning.
INcompassing Education helps schools turn curriculum and assessment from overwhelming mandates into powerful systems for continuous improvement.

The Challenge
The district had recently adopted new reading materials and wanted to ensure that implementation reflected best practices in reading science and was coherent across grade levels. Leadership sought a process that would connect Tier 1 instruction to standards, ILEARN checkpoints, and HQCM guidance—without overwhelming teachers.
The INcompassing Education Approach
Over six days of collaboration, INcompassing Education specialists worked with leadership and teacher teams to align instruction, pacing, and assessment practices.
-
Leadership Team Days focused on setting direction, understanding the science of reading, and customizing templates for the district.
-
Teacher Team Days engaged educators in exploring streamlined standards, vertically articulating essential skills, and mapping units with buffer weeks and pacing built around assessment checkpoints.
-
Follow-Up Leadership Support sessions ensured implementation was on track and that data-driven adjustments could be made throughout the year.
The Outcome
Western Boone emerged with clear, actionable curriculum maps that connected standards, resources, and assessments. Teachers gained a shared understanding of expectations and pacing, while leaders established a system for monitoring progress and providing targeted support. The result: improved instructional coherence, increased teacher confidence, and a stronger foundation for student achievement.
From Confusion to Clarity in Teaching and Learning
High-quality curriculum and effective assessment practices are the foundation of strong teaching and learning. Yet many schools find themselves navigating fragmented materials, inconsistent pacing, and unclear connections between curriculum, instruction, and student data. Teachers often ask: What do I teach next? How do I know if students are learning it?
INcompassing Education partners with schools to bring clarity, alignment, and intentionality to teaching and learning. Through collaborative mapping, leadership support, and data-driven planning, we help schools design systems that ensure every student has access to meaningful, standards-aligned instruction.
