4.++Tier+1+Strategies

=Tier 1 Strategies=

__**The Foundation of Tier**__ __1__: 1. Differentiate Instruction: //How do you know your students as learners? What strategies do you employ to ensure that all students are learning?// 2. Determine Power Standards : //Work with Math and Humanities Learning Area (in development this year) to implement the Common Core.// 3. Analyze Assessment Data: //we will be looking specifically at our common assessment data this year. A goal is to aim for 85% passing. If students are failing, what intervention do they need to become successful?// 4. Ensure Quality Teaching and Focused Staff Development: //Vision Keepers summer planning.// 5. Maximize Instructional Time: //Our work with behavior this year.// 6. Use Programs with Fidelity: //Not there yet.//

Here are some guiding questions to think about:
 * 1) Do you know what you want students to learn?
 * 2) Do you have a way of directly assessing whether students have learned?
 * 3) What do you do when students do not learn after initial teaching?

Are you struggling with a student? If so, use this as a checklist to see what you have done already and what else you can try.
