🧑🏽‍🏫 Remediation = replacing core teaching. It’s about targeted support for children who didn’t grasp foundational skills the first time around by:
✔️ Assessing & grouping by learning level
✔️ Focusing on core skills
✔️ Training & supporting teachers
✔️ Monitoring progress & more!

📉 Even in strong FLN programs, some students fall behind. How can systems support the learners struggling most? Our how-to guide outlines 7 building blocks for effective #remediation in early literacy & numeracy 👉https://scienceofteaching.site/remediation/

Our #PreServiceTeacherEducation how-to guide covers:
✔️ PSTE structure & curriculum
✔️ Establishing a quality teaching practicum
✔️ Supporting teacher educator and institutional capabilities for PSTE
✔️ Improving teacher selection and deployment

🎯 Relying on in-service training alone? You’ll be playing catch-up forever.
To reduce costly retraining cycles, we need to embed FLN-aligned skills in PSTE from the start.

Pre-service teacher education (PSTE) matters—a lot.
What new teachers learn before entering the classroom sticks with them for years.
That’s why embedding evidence-based FLN approaches into PSTE is critical to sustain teaching quality.

How can systems use assessments to close learning gaps and improve outcomes equitably? Our Assessment-informed Instruction – Systems guide covers how-to:
📊 Design meaningful assessments
📈 Link data to instruction
⚖️ Address learning inequities
#ScienceOfTeaching #Assessment

[2/4]
Assessment alone doesn’t improve learning outcomes. Instruction that responds to assessment does. Our Aii–Classroom level guide shows how to make assessment work for learning by:
✔️ Monitoring learning
✔️ Adapting instruction
✔️ Avoid overburdening teachers

Assessment-informed instruction = Using what we learn from assessments to improve teaching. Our #HowToGuide break it down at 2 levels:
🧑🏽‍🏫 Classroom — how to check understanding & adjust without overloading teachers
🏛️ System — how to build assessments that inform action & equity
