Harden GRR/CM Implementation Plan

Rationale

Our students’ success in learning content and academic literacy comes through our collaborative efforts at improving instruction. GRR and Constructing Meaning give us more research-based strategies to help students engage more deeply in the learning and clearly demonstrate what they know. Our students (over 60% English Language Learners), will be better prepared for High School and ultimately this work will move Harden out of program improvement. Our collective commitment to GRR and CM make us more effective educators and ensures all students learn.

Closing the Knowing-Doing Gap

  • We have all the knowledge of strategies for quality of instruction, professional learning communities, good assessments, school/organizational culture that we need. We know a great deal.

​

  • The issue is lack of consistent quality implementation!
