We’re here to support your goals.

It’s a new year, but you may be facing some all-too-familiar COVID-19 challenges once again. We’re here to support you with remote and hybrid learning resources for CKLA instruction. We recently sent an email featuring these tools, but if you missed it, you can find them anytime in the Remote and hybrid learning resources section of the CKLA Professional Learning Site. Additional details can also be found on the start.amplify.com CKLA page. Whether learning is taking place fully remote from home or through a blend of remote and in-person instruction, these resources will remain available to support your changing needs.


During times of remote learning, we know it’s even more important that caregivers be involved in student progress and feel empowered to support their instructional needs. We encourage you to share the Amplify CKLA Caregiver site to provide curriculum details, an overview of what to expect, and resources to use with students at home.


If this is your first time receiving the Amplify CKLA newsletter, welcome! Each month we share the most important information you need to know: program highlights and announcements, upcoming events, tips for the classroom, educator spotlights, and more.


Are you working with your students to set any 2022 goals? We created a fun goal-setting sheet to help you get the ball rolling. Download and share this free worksheet to start 2022 off strong!

She infuses guided reading and other elements of differentiation to ensure scholars receive comprehensive reading instruction. She also engages in data drive instruction cycles where she analyzes her skills assessment data to determine additional and more intensive academic interventions that are needed.”
