Step 1: Explore the strategy examples in action below:

RBL 6th grade science teacher and student in Cisco ISD meet during class time to discuss progress toward the student’s academic SMART goal and set a new goal based on current assessment results. Video (1:59)
RBL Students from Shannon High School describe the power of tracking their lexile reading levels (including a student who participated in a reading intervention class). Video (1:40)

Step 1: Make a copy of activity: Instructional & Motivational Moves: Supporting Students Using an Online Adaptive Software
Step 2: Preview the list of moves the teacher will reference in the video.
Step 3: Watch the teacher from Lindsey Unified describe how she monitors and interacts with students using an adaptive reading software. (7:33 min)
Step 4: As you watch the video, check the corresponding box associated with each instructional or motivational move. (Right click the box and select the check mark. )
Step 5: Reflect by responding to this question - Which strategies (instructional and/or motivational) might you put in place to effectively leverage an online adaptive reading tool? | Facilitators may create polls to capture responses
