Setting up a self-contained classroom for English language learners bolsters academics and helps students reach fluency faster.

By reading books out loud every day, teachers introduce students to higher-level texts and new vocabulary, while modeling deeper thinking and strong discussion skills.

Adding an extra period of math every day gives students an opportunity to review what they’ve learned and strengthen their mathematical thinking.

When teachers make their teaching and learning goals clear to their class, every activity has a purpose and every student understands what they’re doing.

When grade-level teams of teachers work together on skills and strategies to help them improve their practice every week, everyone benefits.

At this school, nurturing a love of reading begins with book shopping, a practice where students choose books from their classroom libraries to bring home—every week.

Dedicating a day each week to integrating science into every subject helped an elementary school boost attendance, learning, and fun.
