Instructional Practices. Instructional Practices: Both direct instruction and interactive learning approaches are paired with Into Reading / Into Literature and GoMath! learning materials. Teachers actively moving about the classroom employing a direct instruction approach is a model that has been successfully used across the nation. For instance, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ schools, Direct Instruction schools, and several others share this direct instruction philosophy of instruction for at-risk youth, and they each have proven track records of success. Instructional practices also include several interactive components that are highly engaging and effective. In this environment, teachers provide indirect support and coaching as students engage with material independently Coupled with this approach is a commitment to differentiated instruction, which relies on ongoing assessment and the ability to tailor instruction to the needs of individual students. For this reason, students are continually assessed in both programs. This continual assessment and feedback process allows for all-important “formative” evaluations, or curriculum based measures (CBM), to take place on at least a weekly, often daily, basis. State mandated student assessments are “summative” in nature, and often have the drawback of not informing the teacher and the school leaders that students are lacking or falling behind until it is too late. Using the selected resources and materials, CBMs are performed with such frequency, that knowledge gaps and specific skill deficits can be identified early and can be addressed before the child is required to move on to the next concept. Several of the Academy’s interactive and student-led elements provide this targeted support. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Nine Effective Instructional Strategies are used along with a direct instruction model. All strategies were researched via extensive meta-analysis of multiple empirical studies. From 2004–11,
