CORE INSTRUCTION
Provide quality core instruction “People think focus means saying yes to the
thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm actually as proud of the things we haven't done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.”
--Steve Jobs Collaborate, collaborate, collaborate 21st Century skills, Literacy in the Content Area
and Sheltered Instruction
