Resources by Dr. Lenz
These teaching routines, manuals, and planning tools were developed by Dr. B. Keith Lenz and his colleagues through decades of classroom research. Each one is designed to help teachers make instruction clear, connected, and effective for every learner.
The Quality Assignment Routine
Students often start an assignment without knowing what it asks, why it matters, or how it will be judged. The Quality Assignment Routine gives teachers a research-tested way to plan meaningful assignments, present them so every student understands the task, and evaluate the results together with students. Students learn two simple strategies, REACT to get ready for an assignment and PACE to check their work before turning it in. In research studies, teachers using the routine planned and presented assignments more effectively, and both teachers and students were more satisfied with assignments.
