What's best for kids
Important Instructional Levers and Look For:
- I Can Statements and objectives up daily in classrooms.
- Connective Purpose Statements (What are we learning, because......, What I'm looking for).
- Instruction must be bell to bell.
- Writing across all content areas-- ensure that you plan for writing throughout your day.
- Update your Master trackers for ELA and MATH on a daily basis.
- Checking for Understanding- Continuously check for student understanding in order to modify and inform next steps
As always, please see Ms. Lugrand or myself if you have any questions or concerns. We are always here to support you in any way we can.
