Inference Instruction Intervention
Learning by Making (LbyM) is a curriculum that integrates the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) Scientific and Engineering Design Practices and Common Core State Standards in Mathematics (CCSS-M) Standards for Mathematical Practice into a modified project-based learning approach. The curriculum uses a Logo network to support data transfer from sensors used during student-designed investigations, and students write Logo code to read the sensors and obtain data. The LbyM curriculum includes six units that cover topics such as electricity, heat transfer, and computer programming. Teachers are supported in using this project-based curriculum through a Summer Institute and follow-up training sessions.
School Renaissance (SR) is a comprehensive school reform model that incorporates various programs, including Reading Renaissance and Math Renaissance, to improve student achievement. The model includes professional development, formative evaluation, faculty buy-in, curriculum alignment with state standards, and resource allocation. SR aims to increase students' motivation and ability to read and learn mathematics through programs such as Accelerated Reader and Accelerated Math software.
SNUDLE is a science notebook that provides students space to collect, organize, and display observations and data; space to reflect and make sense of inquiry experiences; and multiple opportunities to demonstrate understanding at every stage of the investigation through text answers, data tables, photo uploads, and drawing tools, and receive formative, interactive teacher feedback on their work. SNUDLE is intended to target elementary school students, particularly those with disabilities, to support their active science learning.
Early college high school (early college) model
Teach For America (TFA) and Teaching Fellows programs are two alternative routes to teacher certification that recruit and train teachers to teach in low-income school districts. TFA focuses on recent college graduates and requires a two-year commitment to teaching, while Teaching Fellows programs focus on both recent college graduates and midcareer professionals and encourage a long-term commitment to teaching. Both programs provide an intensive summer training program and ongoing support to their teachers.
Fraction Face-Off! is a 12-week program that targets fourth-grade students who have demonstrated difficulty in mathematics, specifically fractions. The program includes 36 lessons delivered over the course of 12 weeks, with each week focusing on specific concepts and skills. The lessons use a variety of activities, including warm-up word problems, group work, speed games, and worksheet activities, to develop competencies in fraction foundations, magnitude reasoning, and operations. The program is designed for use with individual students or small groups of up to three students, and the developer recommends three 30- to 35-minute lessons per week for 12 weeks.
Early Risers is a program designed for elementary school children ages 6 to 12 with aggressive or otherwise disruptive behavior. It uses integrated child-, school-, and family-focused interventions aimed at altering the developmental trajectory of children with early onset aggressive behavior. The program includes social skills groups and a summer school program for students, teacher consultation and mentoring, and parent training. A family advocate coordinates the child- and family-focused components, consulting with classroom teachers to assess the child's academic progress, peer relations, classroom behavior, and emotional regulation, and collaborating with teachers on appropriate intervention options.
Read Naturally is a program that aims to improve reading fluency, accuracy, and comprehension for students in grades 2-4. The program involves repeated reading, teacher modeling, and progress monitoring to promote fluency. Students are assigned to instructional level reading materials and practice reading passages multiple times with an audio recorded model, then independently until they reach their timed goal. The program also includes comprehension assessments and strategies, student goal setting, and progress monitoring procedures.
