Academic Resources
Accessing Our Curriculum
EBIA uses established, standards-aligned curricula across the core academic program. Families can learn more about the content, units, and instructional approaches through the curriculum providers’ public resources and through their student’s teacher.
English Language Arts: Fishtank ELA
Fishtank ELA provides grade-level literature, essential questions, writing tasks, research, discussion, and project-based extensions.
Mathematics: Illustrative Mathematics
Illustrative Mathematics is a problem-based curriculum focused on conceptual understanding, reasoning, mathematical communication, and application.
History: TCI History Alive!
TCI’s California History Alive! program uses inquiry, primary and secondary sources, interactive learning, discussion, and writing across the middle school history sequence.
Science: OpenSciEd & Stanford SCALE
OpenSciEd is an NGSS-aligned, phenomenon-based science curriculum in which students develop explanations through investigation, evidence, modeling, and discussion. Stanford SCALE provides NGSS-aligned integrated and project-based science units that ask students to apply science and engineering practices to complex problems.
What Is My Student Learning Right Now?
Curriculum providers show the larger course sequence. For the most accurate information about the unit, text, project, assessment, or pacing your student is currently working on, families should review Google Classroom and contact the classroom teacher.
Google Classroom
Students use Google Classroom for course announcements, assignments, materials, due dates, teacher resources, and class-specific information.
IXL
EBIA uses IXL both as a practice tool and as one source of diagnostic information. IXL helps teachers identify specific skill strengths and gaps and supports the twice-weekly Intervention + Enrichment Block. Students should complete diagnostics carefully and independently so the data accurately reflects what they know and helps teachers place them in the right support or enrichment.
Families who are unsure where to begin can contact the Main Office at info@eastbayia.org or (510) 577-9557.
