Research Labs
Research Labs is a backwards design model that allows teachers to differentiate instruction while teaching grade level content standards to all students. Starting with big ideas/concepts students need to grasp in order to master state standards, we backmap to create a project-based learning framework through which students read, write, engage in accountable talk, and produce their own books on independent research topics.

The Teacher Pacing Guide offers a detailed nine-week plan for completion of a full thematic inquiry project using a reading, writing, research workshop model. In addition to highlighting key concepts and essential components, the guide supplies a schedule for daily activities. It also provides a rubric for student grading and makes project expectations clear for teachers, students, and parents.
