Staff will work together to create a common understanding and shared vision for how CITW will seamlessly integrate within the context of the building’s other initiatives.

Teacher Learning Teams utilize the CITW Implementation Guide which identifies Critical Components and Non-negotiables required to understand as a school the expectations for implementation in their classrooms.

Teachers will identify a colleague to engage in peer coaching during the implementation of math models as an instructional practice.

Monitor Evaluate

Monitors will use the Strategy Implementation Guide to focus their walk throughs on the Creating an Environment for Learning non-negotiables of Classroom Instruction That Works

Staff will use the Strategy Implementation Guide during their evaluation process to ensure they analyze their impact and fidelity of implementation the way the research intended.
