If you’re reading this, you probably have a unit plan nearby—stuffed in a binder, buried in a shared drive, or gleaming from a fresh box of published curriculum. There’s solid content in there. Maybe even great content. But if you’ve found your way to this book, something isn’t lining up: the work doesn’t fit your students, gaps remain, or last year’s units didn’t deliver.
All too often, curriculum shortfalls are chalked up to implementation. But in Unboxing the Curriculum, author Kate Roberts, with Maggie Beattie Roberts, argues that it’s often the road map that needs some work. The path doesn’t lead where it should, and sometimes, there be dragons.
This book offers a field guide for charting a better course through unit planning. In its pages, you’ll learn to:
see your curriculum clearly set smart priorities tailor units to your classes monitor for equity, engagement and relevance build supplemental materials that truly support your students.With real classroom examples and team-friendly protocols that apply to any subject, grade level, or program alongside a robust appendix full of practical use-tomorrow tools, you’ll navigate prepackaged or scripted curricula and prewritten units without losing sight of the students in front of you. The result? A path learners can take to their destination.
Like a map well marked, Unboxing the Curriculum plots a direct route through mandates and box sets right to the hearts of the students in front of you.

Strengthen the foundational skills that set students up for writing success
Writing is more than putting words down on paper—it’s a tool for thinking and learning, a vehicle for expression and connection.
Yet, writing instruction has often received less attention than reading, even though it's just as complex. In fact, writing is one of the most complex tasks the brain coordinates, drawing simultaneously on language skills, executive functions, and motor processes.
Foundational Skills for Writing tackles that complexity by offering evidence-based methods, purposeful strategies, and playful approaches teachers can use to nurture essential writing skills. By supporting educators in developing the cognitive, motor, and language foundations of writing, this book helps students succeed academically, express themselves authentically, and connect meaningfully with the world.
Drawing from brain-based research and the science of writing, this book provides:
Clear explanations of each foundational writing skill, including executive functions, oral language, motor skills, handwriting, spelling, and sentence construction.Practical connections to neurological research on the writing brain and how writing skills develop.Strategies, lessons, and routines that strengthen writing foundations during busy school days.Instructional activities to introduce, reinforce, and review foundational writing skills across primary, elementary, and middle school classrooms— skills that support growth in every area of literacy.Vetted tools, authentic examples, and practical scaffolds—making it a read-today, teach-tomorrow resource for immediate classroom impact.Educators will gain the knowledge and tools to nurture young writers’ growth, support them through challenges, and build their confidence and competence.
