9 District Recommended Instructional Approach For the Course To Drive Teacher s Instructional Activities Emphasize a hands-on approach and follow-up with explicit content. Design and use project rubrics consistently within each grade level or course. Evaluate experiments and other activities by observation and by assessment of lab reports and results written in a specific format and aligned within each grade level or course. Encourage and support student-designed experimental activities wherever possible. Assess students with selected and constructed response written tests as appropriate to the grade level and content. Assign homework that is clearly relevant to the planned course s performance objectives and is appropriate to the grade level. Utilize technological resources such as the Internet and Microsoft Office applications whenever possible to support student achievement of course objectives. Value literature and other printed materials as a valid way to support student performance during activities and class work. Emphasize and assign value to the importance of reading, writing and mathematical skills during all lessons and activities. 9
