To successfully prepare all students—including students with disabilities and English language learners—for their next step in life, teachers need to create cognitively demanding learning experiences in their classrooms every day. To this end, we have developed a collective focus for the next school year, the 2011-2012 Instructional Expectations.
These expectations build on the inquiry work of the last several years increasing the focus on:
- Strengthening student work by examining and refining curriculum, assessment, and classroom instruction; and
- Strengthening teacher practice by examining and refining the feedback teachers receive.
To support educators across the city in implementing the Instructional Expectations, the NYC DOE has developed a range of professional learning resources. Continue to check back under Professional Learning for continued updates! |
