Resources for EBIP 1: Establishing the Learning Environment
Research consistently indicates the importance of students having access to quality, standards-aligned grade-level instruction. All of the work to create a written, guaranteed and viable curriculum, to break down the standards, and to create aligned assessments is necessary, but the quality of the day-to-day classroom instruction students receive has a significant impact on their overall achievement. As teachers implement their local standards-aligned curriculum, it is important that they strategically and intentionally utilize evidence-based instructional practices that support students in reaching the intended learning outcomes.
This starts with creating a classroom environment in which students feel safe and supported as they work to reach the intended learning outcomes within the Kentucky Academic Standards. To support teachers in this work, the first EBIP in the 2021-2022 Teaching and Learning Professional Learning Series focuses on Establishing the Learning Environment and includes the following:
-
An overview video;
-
A narrative introduction that synthesizes the current research on creating safe and supportive learning environments;
-
Facilitation considerations for structuring the professional learning; and
-
Content-specific resources to support implementation.
