PA-HLI CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT

Teacher interaction is maximized.
Interacts with students in large groups, small groups and one-on-one. Assessment results are used to adjust classroom and online activities for students. Students also monitor their own assessment results to make adjustments in their learning. Feedback is provided through regular online assessment, one-on-one interaction with the teacher and interaction with peers in small group collaboration.

Assessment is an ongoing activity.

Assessment feedback is immediate.

Technology use is maximized.

Technology is used to deliver individualized and differentiated instruction, is part of teacher-student and student-student small group interactions and is used as part of project-based learning.
Class time is directed and adjusted by the teacher, but the students manage their use of time through differentiated instruction through online material and assessment. Engagement occurs in individualized instruction through online learning and assessment, one-on-one interaction with the teacher and small group interaction with the teacher and other students. Lecture is in a small group & is focused on engaging students in discussion and critical thinking.

Time is extremely structured.

Students are constantly engaged.
