Building Common Instructional Frameworks

“The school leader must, first of all, have a vision for what effective classroom instruction looks like when aligned to a standards-based curriculum and what the desired outcomes of effective instruction should be” (Carbaugh & Marzano, 2018, p. 38).  Establishing a "LION" common language of instruction will define what good instruction looks like and sounds like in every classroom.  This process includes a common set of vocabulary and questions which educators can use as they plan and discuss teaching.
