This document provides a framework for instruction with four levels: independent practice where students work alone, shared instruction where the teacher and students work together, modeled instruction where the teacher demonstrates while students watch, and guided practice where the teacher watches and guides students as they practice. The framework is adapted from Doug Fisher and is intended to be used for teaching.
