Participants are introduced to the Team-Based Cycle of Instruction—an instructional delivery system that seamlessly integrates High Performance Learning Teams; UDL principles; structured cooperative learning; family engagement; technology tools; and formative assessment. In addition, specific processes are shared for using formative assessment data to differentiate instruction and personalize learning opportunities based on identified needs. Results of improved teacher performance and its link to increased student achievement among all students, including English Learners and those with disabilities, are summarized.
