“Schools that are closing the gap exist in a culture of “public teaching” that supports non-
defensive examination of practice in relation to student results. This means that when
students don’t learn, teachers face the evidence squarely and accept responsibility for their
part. “                                                               Jon Saphier, Research for Better Teaching

IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK:
“I think it's very important to have a feedback loop, where
you're constantly thinking about what you've done and how
you could be doing it better.”                     Elon Musk, Entrepreneur

     -review the outcome using word wall to focus on what and why they were learning content
     -utilizing a brain break to re-reenergize and refocus to engage in the lesson
     -have models of types of cinquain poems while they were working on composing their own

     -using dry erase boards to encourage all students to respond during
     all of the awesome questioning (and use as formative assessment
     data on mastery towards the content!)

BUILDING LEADERSHIP CAPACITY:
“In schools that are closing the gap:
• team members visit each others’ classrooms regularly to do focused peer observations of
   one another.
• They collect data in service of a question they want answered.
• There is skillful debriefing of the observation and planning of next steps.”
                                                       Stephen Sheldon, Director of Research, John Hopkins
BUILDING LEADERSHIP CAPACITY:
 “Leaders in schools that narrow the achievement gap make closing the gap the primary goal,
set measurable goals and shrink the change.”                 Eric Jenson, Teaching with Poverty in Mind
