Targeted Instruction in Social Studies
This is a Tier 1 instructional structure that provides differentiated levels of skills for students. There is a always a connection from the Focus Lesson of the Day to the work here.
Independent/ Collaborative Work
When students are not at teacher table they are working on tasks that are aligned to the Focus Lesson. This another opportunity time we put the cognitive lift on students with rigorous tasks. We want all students to engage in the "productive struggle."
Check for Understanding
Teachers take "laps" around the room between groups to check in with groups and their understanding of the skill/concept. This is critical to ensure students can move beyond the struggle and engage in the content. Teachers also provide real-time feedback in both the small groups and independent time.
