Instructional Routines
Refined through real-world classroom adoption and ongoing teacher feedback, these high-leverage instructional routines establish a structured framework for rich, student-led discourse. By elevating student voice, educators step back from teacher-dominated talk to create a calm, curious environment where students take ownership of their learning. Ultimately, consistent use builds equity, collaborative rigor, and disciplinary reasoning—transforming classrooms into vibrant spaces of inquiry and critical thought.
Social Studies
Develop students’ ability to think, read, and communicate like social scientists. These instructional routines embed expert thinking directly into classroom slides through TELLS, ASKS, and SHOWS — structured teacher moves that make disciplinary reasoning visible and accessible to all learners, including multilingual students.
Science
These resources help students move beyond memorizing vocabulary and formulas to engaging with science the way researchers do — interpreting data, evaluating sources, and constructing evidence-based explanations. Routines like Rumors, Domino Discover, and Think-Talk-Open Exchange make disciplinary thinking visible and accessible to all learners.
Micro-Routines
These cross-content micro-routines give students regular practice with the critical academic subskills that often get overlooked. Short, structured, and student-led, they foster curiosity, collaborative thinking, and ownership of learning — making student thinking visible across every classroom.
