Before Session
Statement
After Session
All students should
participate in CKLA
instruction.
In grades K-2 Skills Strand,
additional time may be
needed to address
students/groups to build
and close gaps in
foundational skills.
In grades K-2 Knowledge
Strand, it is recommended
to pull out students for
small group foundational
skills instruction.
In grades 3-5, it is always
best to first use outside
Tier 3 intervention
programs for struggling
students.
All students, regardless of
ability, should be exposed
to grade level, Tier 1,
instruction.
Accommodation and
Modification mean the
same thing in regards to
providing support for
students.
CKLA has additional
supports and interventions
built into the core program.
