Student Ownership & Independence Goal 3
All classrooms exhibit a three part instruction cycle:
1. Use direct instruction to model and scaffold content and or skills to be learned (1/4 of class time)*
2. Schoolwork is gradually released to promote productive struggle during independent and or group work time. (1/2)*
3. Time is given for reflection on what was learned. (1/4)*
Observed in 80% of classrooms on a given day as measured by observational and survey data.
*Based on average teacher talk time vs. student talk time.
