Strategy 2
Layered instruction (workshop model) in classrooms, including intervention groups (small group or one-on-one), Teachers observing teachers and teachers rotating collaboration time in various classrooms to share
observable artifacts, seating arrangements, schedules, etc. Recruit and train volunteers to work with students twice weekly with specific strategies (e.g. Strings, problem solving, etc.) Provide intentional and focused
after school tutoring for identified students.

Strategy 3
Continue to use and refine effective teaching strategies from research based texts. Unpack and connect effective strategies (Marzano) to Common Core curriculum. Strategies include setting big goals individually and
collectively, planning purposefully, partnering with families around goal setting, developing a culture of achievement, and using specific engagement techniques during instruction .
