High-quality instruction doesn’t improve through isolated strategies or one-time feedback. It improves when educators share a clear definition of what strong instruction looks like—and have practical tools to observe, analyze, and refine it over time.

The Core Instruction Refinement Tool is designed to support that work.

Tools for high-quality coaching and instruction

This three-page tool provides a common set of seven instructional qualities and indicators that help instructional coaches, teachers, and leaders:

• Observe classroom practice with clarity and consistency

• Identify meaningful patterns in instruction

• Anchor coaching conversations in shared language

• Focus improvement efforts on habits that actually change practice

Whether you are coaching individual teachers, leading PLCs, or working toward schoolwide coherence, this tool will drive impact at your school.
