2. Classroom Management
• Classroom schedules are followed, activities
are organized, transitions between activities
are smooth, and instruction is bell-to bell.
3. Classroom Environment
• Classrooms display/contain literacy-rich,
instructional-based visual aids and resources
(e.g., content posters, process posters,
classroom libraries).
4. Student Engagement
• Teachers incorporate collaborative structures (e.g.,
think-pair-share), working in pairs, triads, and quads
on tasks aligned with the standards during guided
practice.
• Students are active participants in developing
hypotheses, designing procedures, carrying out
investigations, and analyzing data.
