Quality curriculum and programs such as mindfulness and G.R.E.A.T. Instruction, that the entire student body has access to, are examples of Tier 1 supports. Data-based decision making, on-going professional development for school staff, and prevention also falls within Tier 1. Universal Screening for social, emotional, and behavioral wellness is one preventative measure that the district can utilize to both effectively capture the needs of the entire student body and plan accordingly for interventions and supports. G.R.E.A.T. Instruction Kingsway School District’s G. R. E.A.T. instruction stands for Guided by the Curriculum, Rigorous and Relevant, Engaging and Exciting, Assessment FOR Learning, and Tailored for Student Success. To learn more about G.R.E.A.T. Instruction, click here. Differentiated Instruction (DI), Flexible Grouping, Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Differentiated instruction is a way of teaching to meet the diverse needs of all our students. Flexible grouping is a strategy that allows student groups to change often based on data that tells us about students’ interests, skills or knowledge. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a teaching framework that ensures all students can learn. To learn more, click here. Virtual Learning Supports Kingsway Regional School District remains dedicated to the continuity of instruction and supports while we respond to the present public health scare. Teachers will still deliver standards-based instruction until the normal school schedule can resume. Additionally, school counselors and special education case managers will also continue to provide supports remotely during this time. To learn more about Virtual Learning Supports, click here. Schoology Kingsway Regional School District adopted Schoology, a learning management system (LMS), in order to streamline student, parent, and teacher access to learning and assignments. Schoology will serve as a landing page for students to access class c
