Ensure

• All of us are strategic decision makers who plan to accelerate
Instruction that
student learning, therefore we will provide diagnostic tools
will and tasks to elicit evidence of understanding.
ACCELERATE • Accelerating learning is best accomplished using a
Learning strengths-based approach for individual students, therefore
we will have a student-driven mindset, rather than a
gap-driven mindset.
• Differentiation is critical, therefore we will identify effective
variations in content, process, and product.
• All learners can access and participate in meaningful,
challenging learning experiences, therefore we will provide
multiple means of engagement (why), representation (what),
and expression (how).
