Making Grade Level Content Accessible to All Students

Available Now

Overview

To accelerate learning and keep the focus on grade-level content, educators must present content in a way that is accessible to all students. Rather than remediating, which research has shown can perpetuate learning gaps, students should engage directly with grade-level work made accessible through embedded supports. In this workshop, participants will define the benefits and challenges of prioritizing grade-level content, explore scenarios from real classrooms to identify strategies and tools for accessing grade-level content, and build and get peer feedback on their plan to focus on grade-level content.
