Coming Soon: EngageNY Content via Galileo K-12 Online

Soon the EngageNY Common Core Math and English Language Arts Curriculum will be accessible through Galileo. The curriculum contains Math and English Language Arts (ELA) units/modules and lesson plans for grades Kindergarten through 8th grade.  Additionally, direct access to the high school curriculum including ELA 9th-12th grade content and Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, and Pre-calculus will be available through Galileo. The EngageNY curriculum components exist through Galileo as links to the live EngageNY website.

There are a number of benefits of using the EngageNY curriculum through Galileo including the ability to guide curriculum implementation by scheduling each unit/module for the desired duration. The EngageNY units/modules can be scheduled by district- and school-levels users using the Galileo Bulk Scheduler tool. Scheduled EngageNY units/modules will be displayed on the Teacher Dashboard Calendar page. From this page, teachers can preview scheduled units/modules as well as schedule EngageNY lesson plans to further support instruction. 

Contact your friendly and knowledgeable field services coordinator for more information.
