GLEAM^® Instructional Vision Alignment Checklist

A shared instructional vision is essential for improving educational outcomes. An instructional vision is a clear, concise statement articulating what effective teaching and learning and high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) should look like. It serves as a shared North Star for educational practices and decision-making.

At UnboundEd, we believe grade-level, engaging, affirming, meaningful – GLEAM – instruction is what every student in every classroom deserves and should serve as the foundation of a truly transformative instructional vision.

Leaders of GLEAM Instruction use their instructional vision to:

• Define a coherent set of instructional practices and initiatives across classrooms.
• Guide choices about curriculum and resources.
• Inform the focus of professional development.
• Articulate expectations and goals to teachers, students, families, and the community.
• Build a sense of collective efficacy within teams.
