Focus on Core Instruction“One of the keys to improving schools is to ensure teachers ‘know the learning intentions and success criteria of their lessons, know how well they are attaining these criteria for all their students, and know where to go next in light of the gap between students’ current knowledge and understanding and the success criteria’; this can be maximized in a safe and collaborative environment where teachers talk to each other about teaching.”
~Hattie, 2009, p. 239

The PD being led in your building to support teachers' understanding of question 1
The meetings related to reading, math, team or department meetings that support the focus of question 1
Focus on Core InstructionJoin 3 colleagues from different
clusters and different levels where possible.
Using the resources outlined on the handout, develop a comprehensive and descriptive checklist that communicates the criteria for the core instruction action plan.
Use the template on Google docs to document your team’s processing.
