Equity Focused Observation Protocols for Coaches and MTEs
Math Quality of Instruction
Using MQI Mathematics Quality of Instruction as a Tool to Reflect on your teaching
The TRU Framework
TRU is a framework for characterizing powerful learning environments in crisp and actionable ways. It provides a straightforward and accessible language for discussing what happens (and should happen) in classrooms, in professional preparation and professional Development (PD). TRU is consistent with what we know to be good practice; and it focuses classroom and administrative attention on what counts in learning. What that means in particular is that high quality instruction and PD will be consistent with TRU – and that if we adopt this framework and language, parallels in instruction across disciplines will be clear.
