We create equity and close learning gaps by starting lessons in the original rigor and intention of the learning standard. So often well intending teachers start in a scaffold and never reach the rigor of the standard.

Rather, spending time reviewing specific uses for supplement al materials such as test practice, scaffolding resources and spiraled reviews is necessary to streamline the effectiveness of interventions.
