Research Based
Connecting research recommendations
to practice can improve instruction. Key
research-based strategies have
demonstrated proof (usually scientificallybased) of an impact on student
achievement-helping all students in all
kinds of classrooms.
Strategies should be organized into
categories of familiar practices in order to
help you fine-tune your teaching to
improve student achievement.
What will my school get out of
this grant?
Build Capacity . . .

development
