PLO Calendar

In BPS, teachers use scientifically research- based instructional strategies to help students master new skills and concepts. Daily small group instruction is expected at every grade level. Small group instruction provides opportunities for students to apply the skills they learn as well as providing an opportunity for teachers to re-teach skills as needed. The instructional guides outline whole group and small group modules for teachers.
