- Good first instruction is invaluable to all of our students, especially those that have substantial difficulties and learning gaps.
- Make sure we continue to follow our students' IEP or 504 plan.
- Be sure to continue using the 5 Phase form in Eduphoria for student misbehavior that doesn't warrant a referral but needs to be addressed.
