In 2017, a taskforce of teacher leaders from Norfolk Public Schools was selected to collaboratively design a model to be used throughout the entire district, PK-12. The purpose of this model is to provide a common language of instructional practices for staff, students, and community stakeholders. The first year of implementation was 2018-2019. The model was refreshed in 2024.
