Definition: The teacher organizes a classroom that has a lot of students' engagement and has routines and procedures.
Elements Within the Component:
Productive Collaboration Teachers
help students to develop the skills to work purposefully and cooperatively in groups, with little supervision from the teacher. Student autonomy and Responsibility
Many lessons engage students in different types of activities—large-group, small-group, independent work. Little time should be lost as students move from one activity to another; students know the “drill” and execute it seamlessly.
Equitable Access to Resources and Supports Experienced
teachers have all necessary materials at hand and have taught students to implement routines for distribution and collection of materials with a minimum of disruption to the flow of instruction.
Non-Instructional Tasks
Teachers complete non-instructional tasks with little to no loss of instructional time or disruption to lesson delivery.
Example: Students redirect peers in small groups not working directly with the teacher to be more efficient in their work.
