Vision-Mission-Essential Five
We will maximize the time that we do have with our students and focus on the Essential Five.
- Identify desired results
- Determine acceptable evidence
- Plan learning experiences & instruction
2. Prioritize small group instruction over whole group instruction.
- It allows you to react & respond in real time on a personalized level to questions, misconceptions, & successes.
3. Post & review learning targets everyday with your students.
- Tell them what you want them to learn, and how they will know they learned it.
4. Model the concept or skill.
- Always provide plenty of practice together and independently.
- Questioning
- Observations
- Monitoring small group discussions
- Facilitate small group instruction
