Model Schools
What is the Model Schools Conference?
The International Center for Leadership in
Education has identified the schools across the
nation and around the world that have made
tremendous strides in student learning. These
schools shared their successful strategies at the
Model Schools Conference.
Rigor, Relevance, and
Relationships
These are the criteria for what makes a
model school!


Rigor Teach the
world awesome
stuff!
Relevance Make
history!
Relationships See
the person your
students want to
become!
Rigor, Relevance, Relationships Build It!
Rigor and Relevance
How do we build rigor
and relevance in the
classroom?
We use Quad D Moments!
Quad D Moments
There is a list of a few Quad D Moments
in the Quad D Moments Folder.
There is an engagement strategy, two
during reading strategies, and a student
work strategy.
Relationships
Building the community!
There is also a PDF that has 10 awesome
strategies to build community in your
classroom. It is in the Relationships folder in
the Edmodo group.

world needs and learning about their world at
the same time.

Closing Key Note
In the closing keynote, there were two big ideas that we
took away:
Quad D is where kids do the memorable stuff, but Quad A is
where you still need to help them grow their skills.
Be Nice. If you can do nothing else, be nice.
THANK YOU!
