We will reduce variability and increase the fidelity of High-Quality Tier 1 instruction implementation for all students including AKS aligned instruction, ongoing formative assessment, targeted small groups, and progress monitoring.

1. Core teachers will participate in weekly Collaborative Learning Teams (CLTs) meetings that focus on where the BIG SEVEN, TLAC strategies,  instructional calendars, Quality-Plus Teaching strategies, common and formative assessment, and data analysis.  Administrators will attend every CLT, share student achievement data, and assist with action steps. 
2. Connections teachers will support core teachers during Connecting Time in order to support students who need remediation, enrichment, or to complete assignments. 
3. Administrators will conduct weekly informal classroom walk-throughs and follow up with feedback. "Look fors" will be communicated and evaluated by administrators. 
4. Professional Development (PD) will be provided by teachers, administrators, and county support staff.  The PD focus throughout the school year will be: Positive Relationships, Classroom Management, Building Ratio, and Co-teaching Methods/Best Practices. New teachers with 1-2 years of experience will receive ongoing support through our New Teacher Academy where professional development will be provided. 
5. The Georgia Multi-Tiered Support Systems (GaMTSS) process will be implemented with fidelity. The GaMTSS Fidelity Tool will guide us as we work to support each and every student.
