Align Tier 2 supplemental reading instruction with Tier 1 core instruction through teacher professional development and materials¶

Design · All designs
Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

The program's central design principle is alignment: it provides "teachers with professional development and materials to improve the alignment of Tier 2 with Tier 1 core instruction." Core reading teachers also receive professional days on the same strategies, so both tiers teach the same content with shared routines.
