The teacher actions we explored help support strong Tier 1 instruction by making sure all students feel engaged, comfortable, and understand clear instruction directions as well as objectives. We also discussed the importance of modeling as our young students learn through watching and visual aides to mimic what they know and make it their own.

Preparation is key when delivering a lesson for students. When the teachers takes the time to annotate, use various learning strategies that relate to students, and provide a detailed example of expectations, the class can have the opportunity to be fully engaged and take the most out of the leasson and learning objective.

Tier one instruction provides the groundwork for all students to learn classroom material and expectations. In Kindergarten, expectations and objectives should be given clearly and in a student-friendly manner.

With the teacher actions, students become engaged and interested in learning, are able to take ownership of the learning and helps them to learn "how to learn" to be successful in multiple areas.
