- Build in time for feedback and revision.
- Use exit prompts that connect to the next lesson or assessment.
Common needs: ELL, IEP, behavior
High school learners benefit from clear expectations, vocabulary support, and models of strong responses. For IEP or 504 accommodations, plan for extended time, alternate response formats, or scaffolded readings.
Behavior supports often focus on clear routines for independent work, respectful discussion, and predictable transitions between tasks, especially in last-period classes.
