Welcome again! Your leadership and support is essential to the success of Future-Powered Classrooms in ERCSD! Thank you for your role in this important work focused on developing executive function skills in students as they engage in content learning that is skill-centered, language-rich, numeracy-rich, play-infused, socially-nurturing, experientially-empowering, and technology-enhanced. That is Future-Powered Classrooms! 

Please leverage the resources below to support your leadership.

As we work together this year, we will continue to add resources and tools for leading this work. 

IDE’s “Look Into” narratives are intended to be a snapshot rather than a full description of the classroom. As a sketch of one teacher’s classroom, it does not provide a complete representation of all Future-Powered Classrooms (FPC). Instead, it will offer a general sense of the FPC Classroom in action and insights into particular structures and strategies that can be used. This example will not be what each Kindergarten and 1st grade classroom will look like at the start of the year, but will be what we collectively work toward with students and teachers as the year progresses. 

In a Future-Powered Classroom, the teacher's presence is intentional but not intrusive. Teachers are the Curator of the environment and a Coach of the cognition. This resource helps teachers have a bank of questions to pull from to build academic discourse while students are playing.
