The ACT 48 Moratorium is over in Pennsylvania, urging educators to ensure their PDE Act 48 records are up to date. It is crucial for teachers to align curriculum writing with PA Core/PA Standards, secure board approvals, and maintain compliance with Lesson Plans (EATS) as per board policy. Teachers are encouraged to complete all Key Understandings, Desires, and Skills (KUDs) by June 2014 and utilize their EATS Toolbox for writing. Continuous professional development and active participation in assessment calendars are necessary for effective teaching and growth.
