Whip-Around (M.R.S.)
Requires a quick response
from each student. Students
are given up to a minute to
formulate an answer and
then a few seconds to
respond in succession.
Modified WHIP-AROUND
(M.R.S.)
Similar to the Whip-around, except
students with similar answers sit down
once their answer is given by
another student.
Core Beliefs
Our main purpose is to improve student academic
achievement.
Effective instruction makes the most difference in
student academic achievement.
There is no excuse for poor quality instruction.
With our help, at-risk students will achieve at the
same rate as non-risk students.
Staff members must have a commitment to children
AND a commitment to the pursuit of excellence.
