*Aligns and connects lesson objectives to
state and local school district curricula and
standards, and student learning needs.
Instructional Strategies (3)
*Develops higher-order thinking through
questioning and problem-solving activities.

Strategies - Evaluate and increase DOK levels
both formative and summative
assessments. After evaluation
determined needs.
TKES Standard: 4 Differentiation
· Use of flexible groups
· Modified assessments
· Provide remediation, enrichment
and acceleration as needed.
/ If students are given the opportunity to practice constructed response questions and are given thoughtful feedback, then the students will increase their ability to solve complex problems and communicate their solutions.
Students will be better equipped to successfully answer higher level questions as the instruction is adjusted and the appropriate teaching strategy is applied.
