The vision of having all students meet or exceed rigorous, grade-level standards requires teachers to use a proactive planning process and specific instructional strategies to address the varied needs of all students in meeting those standards. Measures should be taken before lessons to prepare students for learning, during lessons to support and challenge students throughout their learning, and after lessons to support students who still have learning gaps.
This course provides the rationale for using an Acceleration Model. You will be introduced to a variety of strategies and practices to support struggling students with learning grade-level concepts and gather techniques for providing additional challenges to high performing students so they too can continue to grow academically.
