This is a focused work session for high ability point people to collaboratively align Jacob’s Ladder passages with the CKLA curriculum in preparation for the 2026–27 school year. Participants will work directly with CKLA units to identify, select, and map appropriate Jacob’s Ladder texts and thinking tasks that extend comprehension and support deeper analytical thinking for high-ability learners. The goal of the session is to produce a coherent, usable alignment that can be implemented consistently across classrooms and grade levels. By the end of the session, teams will have completed initial alignment work and established clear next steps to finalize resources for classroom use in 2026–27.
