Embrace a Proactive Mindset

Exemplary teachers set high expectations for student learning but are also proactive and committed to implementing strategies for helping students meet those expectations. With Accelerating Learning-Focused Lessons, teachers use effective and expeditious teaching and learning practices for supporting and challenging students before, during, and after a lesson to ensure that each student reaches their academic potential.

Accelerating Learning-Focused Lessons provides a system for implementing strategies and practices that support struggling students with learning grade level concepts and supports the needs of students who require extra challenge. Systematic implementation of Previewing, Scaffolding, and Differentiation is critical for fully engaging all students, raising the achievement of all students, and closing any gaps. Acceleration ensures you can implement strategies that meet students' specific academic needs.
