Content Co-Op Overview

Amie Chase, Content Program Manager (361) 561-8664 • [email protected]

The English Language Arts, Reading, and Social Studies Cooperative has transitioned to the Content Co-Op for the 2026-2027 school year. This targeted support provides specialized assistance for districts implementing or refining High-Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM), adopted curriculum programs, and broader content-area instructional needs. Designed for districts not receiving LASO-LIFT support, this series focuses on bridging the gap between curriculum adoption and effective, rigorous classroom implementation. Participants will strengthen instructional coherence across reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies.
