Description¶

The program emphasizes data-informed instruction: teachers use ongoing assessments to tailor learning experiences to individual children rather than delivering a fixed sequence. In Fueling Brains this operates alongside play-based executive function instruction, so assessment information informs how guided and open-ended play activities are arranged for each child.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Assessment data must be collected on an ongoing basis during instruction

Constraints¶

Target Learners¶

• pre-kindergarten students

Target Learning Goals¶

• tailoring cognitive and literacy learning experiences to individual children

Related Strategies¶

• Blend guided and open-ended play to build executive function in pre-kindergarten
• Adaptive Learning
• Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)
• Learn About Students' Math Backgrounds
• Provide formal training, ongoing supervisory support, and colleague collaboration when introducing new child assessments
