Practical Proficiency Curriculum
This framework is for you if...
- You need a framework, not just "stuff": You have materials, but you lack the direction to guide your students toward measurable growth.
- You're the "Bridge-Builder": You need a curriculum that is acquisition-based but still makes sense to your colleagues and district frameworks.
- You're tired of "Method-Heavy" training: You want to teach, not spend your weekends at expensive re-training workshops.
- You teach the "Real" Middle & High Schooler: You need assessments and activities that aren't too fast and out of touch with what your age group responds to.
Proficiency for the Real World. Results for the Real Classroom.
The new home of the Practical Proficiency curriculum, professional manipulatives, and designer teacher tools. We provide the framework you’ve been searching for and the physical tools to make acquisition actually work.
Finally, a Proficiency Framework That Just... Works.
Most acquisition-based programs ask you to start from scratch, learn complex new methodologies, or move at a pace your students can’t keep up with. We do things differently.
Whether you’re transitioning out of a grammar-heavy curriculum or looking for a way to tie your existing resources together, Practical Proficiency is the bridge. It’s a roadmap designed to draw on the amazing teacher skills you already have, while providing the direction your students need to actually grow.
