 Curriculum, instruction, assessment, alignment with standards, professional development... these are all things the Curriculum Leadership Institute (CLI) can help your school accomplish. The CLI, a non-profit organization, works with teachers, support staff, administrators, boards of education, service agencies, and state departments of education. The foundation for services provided is the CLI Model - a step-by-step process that was first implemented in school districts twenty years ago, and has continuously been refined and improved ever since, based on actual experiences. The result is a model that really works... one that is now being used in districts of all sizes, and in locations across the country. The CLI is committed to constantly improving products and services to meet the ever-changing needs of our clients and patrons as they work towards successful academic performance of their students. The CLI Model is outlined for you below and follow this link to see Why the CLI Model is the Right Thing to Do.
