Classrooms That Support Learning
Classrooms that support learning should use varied, effective strategies to instruct diverse learners. Educators should make classrooms data driven and use tests and other information on students’ performance in instructional planning. Classrooms must also fully utilize and maximize instructional time so that children can get the most out of their day.
Access to Qualified Staff
Schools should work with teachers to improve teacher education programs and provide continuous, data-driven professional development. Schools should also prepare teachers to be knowledgeable and effective on school reform and help them work effectively with families and communities. It is crucial for schools to attract high-quality staff to work with students with the greatest needs and compensate teachers who take on extra responsibilities.
