Teaching methods
Scaffolding, differentiation, direct instruction, project-based learning and the methods a school defines for itself, recorded as evidence.
Scaffolding, differentiation, direct instruction, project-based learning and the rest are a starting vocabulary, not a mandate. A school keeps the methods it values, renames them, and adds its own. What a teacher records against a goal is evidence of practice, mapped later to the framework the school answers to.
