Why This Framework Works

The Responsive Instruction Framework builds on approaches like UDL and differentiated instruction by helping teachers see where their instructional moves can either amplify learning or inadvertently water it down.

Think of it as upgrading the tires on the vehicle your teachers are already driving. They don't need to start over. They need to refine the decision points that matter most.

During professional learning, we explore these decision points in depth, examine what amplifying versus simplifying looks like in practice, and develop teachers' capacity to make these moves their own. The goal isn't to overwhelm them with strategies - it's to help them see where their instructional choices matter most and how to leverage them to serve all students well.
