Our Learning Framework for Elevating Achievement supports all aspects of the educational system and addresses the integration of curriculum, instruction, assessment, and climate in order to be the most effective and efficient method to develop student ownership and, in turn, elevate student achievement.
All student learning is driven by a standards-based curriculum with measurable and achievable outcomes.
How do STUDENTS demonstrate ownership?
Each and every student is able to articulate…
- What they are learning.
- How they will show they have learned it.
- Why they are learning it.
How do TEACHERS support student ownership?
They support each and every student by providing…
- Relevant standards with measurable and achievable outcomes that are accessible and that drive all learning.
- Units and lessons that provide an integrated approach and that support conceptual redundancy of the learning outcomes.
- Access to curriculum materials that match the content and rigor of the learning outcomes.

- Rigorous materials and appropriate textbooks.
- Appropriately placed students.
- Differentiated professional learning opportunities.
How can ELEVATED ACHIEVEMENT GROUP support student ownership?
We support districts, schools, and teachers by taking the research on curriculum and making it concrete, practical, and implementable. We meet with you to determine which supports are already in place and which supports need attention. With that information, together we develop a plan for your current situation.
All student learning is driven by highly engaging, effective, and efficient instruction.

This support is driven by students and what is needed for them to demonstrate increased ownership of their own learning. This increased ownership will lead to elevated achievement. This student support is offered, first and foremost, by the teacher in the classroom. Thus, it is incumbent that we understand how students demonstrate ownership and then the supports teachers must offer their students. But a supportive framework doesn’t end with the teacher, for the teacher must be supported by the administration of the school and district.
And all levels are supported by Elevated Achievement Group.
The new research has an implicit message: We must model all actions on practices that promote conceptual understanding. These practices will require changes that are far from marginal. Rather than structure driving practice, teaching practice will drive structure.
Can you imagine building an environment full of motivated, engaged, and eager students who own their learning?
We can.
