Research Insight | impact of grade level content
Playlist provides time for additional "you do" at bats for students

Key Criteria for Playlists

Directly linked to Tier 1 instruction and content (no random activities)
Strictly grade-level aligned (not based on reading levels)
Flexible in pacing (students progress as they demonstrate understanding)
Includes scaffolds (so all students can access the content)

District Team Step-Through Playlist Guide

District Step-Through

Opportunity to hear directly from your district leaders on how the playlist will work in your district context including clarifying details such as those below:

Playlist purpose

- - What is the core instructional purpose of the weekly playlist activities?
  - How does the weekly playlist connect to Tier 1 instruction?
  - What misconceptions might teachers have about playlists that we need to clarify?

Activity Materials

- - What are the specific materials students will use on the playlist associated with WR?
  - Associated with LC? + Describe any scaffolding needed.

How will the playlist work?

- - How will students move between activities?
  - Will they have choice in the order of activities or is there a set sequence?
  - What indicators will signal when a student is ready to move to the next activity?
  - How will students be supported to provide their best effort? (e.g. formative check-ins, turn in work, apply feedback from goal-setting)

Q&A

Campus Literacy Teams: Do you have the clarity you need regarding the playlist expectations so they can be implemented on your campus? Note and ask any questions or clarifications your Campus Literacy Teams have in mind.
