- rooted in student and educator needs;
- focused on content and pedagogy;
- designed to ensure equitable access, opportunities, and outcomes for all students;
- ongoing, intensive and embedded in practice;
- collaborative, with an emphasis on shared accountability;
- supported by adequate resources; and
