Each morning will begin with a Responsive Classroom and or Second Steps lesson during the morning meeting. The fidelity of these instructional models will be an expectation for all teachers. Large group mini lessons followed by small group, differentiated instruction will be the core of each classroom. Teachers will need to work closely with ENL and Resource teachers and instructional assistants to ensure fidelity of the instructional model is being implemented.
