Robstown ISD's Curriculum Update- October 21, 2015
The Fundamental Five
Robstown ISD is embracing the Fundamental Five. The Fundamental Five are the five critical practices that are at the core of highly effective instruction. These are research-based instructional strategies that you are already using in the classroom. The entire district will be reviewing these strategies to increase student engagement and success.
Framing the Lesson
Daily Learning Objective. Can students tell you what they are learning? Students can summarize the learning at the end.
Work in the Power Zone
Teaching or monitoring in close proximity to one student, or a small group of students, or the entire classroom full of students
Frequent Small Group Purposeful Talk
Provide for student discussion after EVERY 10-15 minutes of teacher talk. Plant seed questions and talk is all about the content.
Recognize and Reinforce
Reinforcing the work it takes to be successful. Personalization and specificity allows you to shape the behavior.
Write Critically
Purposeful and intentional writing . The writing solidifies the learning for students. Content writing based on objectives (TEKS) Increases rigor and relevance
