Teachers focused on personalized instruction through small groups as part of the Daily 5 and Daily 3 will increase academic success for all students. 

Interventionists will provide explicit foundational reading instruction to every student, every day  - and model explicit instructional strategies for teachers as part of the push-in service model.

• Direct, explicit teaching on SEL and wellness for students through our counseling staff. 

• Focus on increasing Educator Wellness through simplifying as many systems and processes as possible, reducing workload where we can, reducing initiatives, and increasing opportunities for staff to engage with each other.
