Be Proactive with Previewing
Why attend the Accelerate Learning with Previewing Training?
Schools are pressured to catch all students up to grade level and provide all students with at least one year of achievement for each school year. Many schools struggle to meet these demands for their struggling students, often resulting in less learning, low test scores, and gaps. This leads to classrooms with students with a wide range of knowledge and skills. The range typically goes from struggling students to high-performing students, with everything in between.
To ensure that all students are learning at grade level, Exemplary Schools focus on a system for consistently planning and using specific strategies and practices to close the learning gap. Exemplary Schools understand that Remediation is not the only way to support struggling students. It is time to be proactive. Accelerate Learning with Previewing Training provides schools and teachers with a system that sets high expectations for student learning. It is proactive and committed to implementing strategies for helping students meet those expectations.
This professional development guides administrators and teachers as they plan lessons that integrate high-yield instructional strategies that focus on helping all students meet the challenges in their path. These strategies and practices integrate seamlessly into an instructional framework to personalize instruction and accelerate learning so that all students meet or exceed grade-level expectations.
