This session will delve into the critical components of high-quality Tier 1 instructional practices. Participants will explore practical, evidence-based strategies for creating engaging, inclusive, and effective learning environments. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of explicit instruction elements, including "I do" (clear demonstrations), "We do" (teacher-guided practice), and "You do" (independent practice with teacher monitoring). Attendees will learn to integrate active participation strategies to strengthen their core instruction, foster student engagement, and build a strong academic foundation for every learner.
