New Heights Middle School has been expanding their implementation of Fishtank ELA and Math over the past three school years. In this spotlight, they share the impact Fishtank has had on students and teachers alike. 

Making confident decisions in an ELA curriculum comes with deep intellectual preparation, not from reading a script. Teachers deserve resources that honor their expertise, engage their intellectual curiosity, and help them continue to learn and grow. Here's how we built Fishtank ELA to do just that.

Last month, EdReports published their review of the Fishtank Plus ELA program for 3rd–5th Grade. Here we reflect on the ways that this review reinforces many of the underlying principles that guide the design of our ELA curriculum.

Curriculum Director Caroline Gambell shares an inside look at the development of our newest 7th grade ELA unit, Claiming Our Place: LGBTQ+ Experiences in the United States. 

Our K–5 ELA units have new names and a few new additions. Find out how our dedication to the different facets of knowledge building informs these choices.
