1. Stay Engaged - Don’t Mentally, emotionally, or physically check out.

3. Collaborative Problem Solving - 25-30 Minutes - What questions can we ask to assess and push student understanding.

4. Independent Work - 15 Minutes - Think Time / Reflection / iReady if aligned to current work.

5. Summary Discussion Share - 10-20 Minutes

6. Problem solving Protocol - 20 Minutes Per Day to do “Problem of the Week” Can be from another resource other than Engage (Problem of the week is the same for each class on the grade) Just because we are giving the same assessment, we can try and dive further for students who are higher functioning.
