REMINDER: Guzick Instructional Expectations for Excellence - Aggressive Monitoring and Small Group Instruction
Last week our instructional plans included common assessments. So this week, is a great time to start implementing, with fidelity, aggressive monitoring and small group instruction to respond to the data and meet the varied needs of our learners.
Check out the PPT from the Aggressive Monitoring session and a handout from the Small Group Instruction session with implementation expectations! We look forward to supporting all Giant Educators with implementation of Aggressive Monitoring and Small Group Instruction.
