ALIGNMENT

BUILDING THE TRANSFORMATIVE TEACHER

Each intentionally designed Get Your Teach On session is aligned to support teacher growth and educator effectiveness in one or more of the following areas:

  • Intentional and meaningful planning using specific grade level content standards and high quality instructional materials that address the needs of all learners and support mastery of learning goal.

  • Creates and maintains a collaborative, safe, efficient, and effective learning environment that supports each student’s diverse needs and promotes recognition of students’ diverse personal experiences to build relationships of trust within the classroom.

  • Implementation of evidence and research-based best instructional strategies and techniques to accelerate student learning, growth, and achievement through rigorous and consistent instruction, including opportunities for problem solving, critical and creative thinking, meaningful and purposeful discourse, and high-impact instructional delivery.

  • Continually monitors and analyzes student learning and progress towards mastery of learning goals for all students using a variety of progress monitoring and assessment techniques to make immediate instructional decisions that support student growth and acceleration.

  • Builds engaging, intentional, and rigorous learning experiences through setting high expectations and consistency within instructional practices that requires all students to take ownership of and be held accountable for their individual learning.

  • Develops strong foundational teaching practices and commitments that support best practices and professional growth through consistent reflection of professional practices to support student learning, development, and achievement at a high level.
