Instructional Routines
These instructional routines are high-leverage tools for teachers that support students in developing historical thinking and disciplinary literacy. When used consistently, they help students gradually internalize core practices and transform classrooms into spaces of inquiry, collaboration, 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.
