Together We Thrive: A Note from Your Coaches
Now that the school year is in full swing, your routines and expectations are in place, and you've gotten to know your students a little better, you're inevitably starting to see the needs of your students that fall outside of the Tier 1 curricula. Often, the go-to for many is to immediately start grouping students into categories based on needs. We are Solvers by nature! By considering the following questions, we are better able to get at the root causes of students' readiness for Tier 1 instruction before developing solutions:
- Do I have adequate training to teach the subject successfully? If not, is there coaching/training available to me?
- What patterns am I seeing with student needs? Is it a particular group or subgroup?
- Do my students have the prerequisite skills needed to participate in instruction?
When teachers prioritize the Why? before the How? they are setting the stage for real gains to take place. Check out our blog this month to dig into the topic further.
We are ready to facilitate, guide, and participate in these discussions with you. That's what we're here for!
Your Friendly Framework Coaches,
Jaclyn, Claudia, and Erin
