Use this solid research base to promote best instructional practices and high student achievement with simple preparation and successful implementation of learning experiences and assessments.

  • Requires high-level thinking in math, science, social studies, and language arts
  • Provides 10 quick assessments for when you only have a minute
  • Documents continuous progress
  • Triggers applications for tiered instruction to reach and support continuous learning for all students

In high-achieving, student-respected learning environments, teachers should not be working harder than their students.

In educational settings today, it is nonsense to allow:

  • Learning experiences that are fun but lack productive applications of concepts and skills;
  • Instructional decisions devoid of a research base to guide practice;
  • A predominance of beginning-thinking tasks when high-level thinking is needed;
  • Excessive preparation and management, leaving less energy and enthusiasm for teaching; and
  • Learners who are passive listeners instead of active learners and responsible participants.

Most of the forms are in English and Spanish,
and many activities have an example in both languages to serve dual-language learners.
