When I got sick of being required to change the learning target and success criteria every day (because how does that make sense for kids in being able to see purpose and growth?), I started making posters of my learning progressions and putting them on my wall instead.
ALT A picture of a posters with the top labeled learning target and the description I can analyze an author's choices regarding plot structure. The bottom shows five levels labeled success criteria that show concrete skills increasing in complexity that lead to the learning target.

My teachers wanted a clear picture of Tier 1 learning.
This was the result.
Something that allowed for a teacher autonomy & creativity, also providing years worth of growth impact built into the design to make learning happen & gaps close.
Included in my book.
Monica K. Shane retweeted
Got disengaged learners?
Got tired teachers?
Got gaps in achievement?
Got low growth?
Got discipline issues?
Got too many interventions?
Got frustrated staff?
Got any problems at your schools?
Then you GOT to change Tier 1 in the classroom.
Nothing changes if nothing changes.

What if every educator implemented positive greetings at the door? 20% increase in academic engagement & cut disruptive behavior in half. Four components: 1. Authentic greeting, 2. High interest entry task, 3. Precorrection, 4. Brief restorative conversation. @CharacterStrong
