Planning. It needs to happen within each grade as well as across grades and with (good) specialists. And none of this mandated/scripted curriculum crap... an actual exchange of effective lessons, etc. and ideas.

I agree, scripted curriculum = death of exceptional or even good teaching. Scripted curricula fundamentally rob teachers of their voice, particularly when administrators do not allow modifications or welcome teacher input. I also think that grade level collaboration is great, but that teachers are given the autonomy to use what they find effective for themselves and not be forced into a multiclassroohm curriculum even if it is written within a grade level setting. -CC
