Focus on High-Yield Strategies
School evaluation research has found the biggest difference between typical and exemplary schools is how and when teachers plan. The High Performance Learning-Focused Lesson provides teachers with a framework for planning purposeful lessons that are engaging and challenging for all students. The High Performance Learning-Focused Lesson provides teachers with an instructional model for planning challenging learning goals and instruction that intentionally connects the most effective research-based strategies and exemplary practices for maximizing learning. Teachers plan for learning rather than content coverage, which is the method for planning in exemplary schools.
The High Performance Learning-Focused Lesson focuses planning and instruction on HOW students learn and WHETHER students learn the concepts and skills they are expected to acquire. Teachers become more effective by purposefully connecting the top research-based learning strategies and exemplary practices in every lesson. Through consistent and pervasive implementation, teachers will accelerate student learning with The High Performance Learning-Focused Lesson through higher engagement, research-based learning activities, and grade-level-appropriate expectations.
