I. SET AND COMMUNICATE CLASSROOM LEARNING PRIORITIES.

Step 1: Clarify and communicate the learning requirements to students and their families.

Step 2: Publish and post a learning goal for a specific class/content area.

Step 3: Chart and analyze learning results for the class.

Step 4: Write and use a class, course, or program mission statement.

II. ENGAGE STUDENTS IN REGULAR AND FREQUENT EVALUATION AND IMPROVEMENT OF LEARNING PROCESSES.

Step 5: Plan for frequent cycles of learning by setting short-term learning targets.

Step 6: Determine what the teacher and students need to do to ensure that everyone learns the target; what high-yield strategies will be used.

Step 7: Study the results of processes used in the learning cycle.

Step 8: Action plan and make adjustments for the next cycle of learning.
