42. Opportunity to Learn Has the strongest relationship with student achievement of all school-level factors.
Both the First (FIMS) and Second (SIMS) International Mathematics Study found:
�One of the major factors which may influence scores on an achievement examination is whether or not students have had an opportunity to study a particular topic or learn how to solve a particular type of problem presented by the test.�
43. What does this look like in an effective school? Opportunity to LEARN � SOL 4.2
Lessons are focused on the Essential Knowledge Decimals and fractions represent the same relationships; however, they are presented in two different formats. Decimal numbers are another way of writing fractions. The base-10 models concretely relate fractions to decimals (e.g., 10-by-10 grids, meter sticks, number lines, decimal squares, money).
Learning is at the stated Essential Skill
Represent fractions for halves, fourths, fifths, and tenths as decimals through thousandths, using concrete objects (e.g., demonstrate the relationship between the fraction 1/4 and its decimal equivalent 0.25).
44. Monitoring Implement an assessment system that provides timely feedback on specific knowledge and skills for specific students, classes, schools, and the division.
Establish specific, challenging, and measurable achievement goals for each student, each teacher, the school and the division as a whole.

73. Assess for a Purpose Nearly every instructional technique has a time at which it can be most effective - an optimal "window of opportunity" at which it can have the greatest effect on a young child's literacy learning. If applied earlier or later, or if applied for a shorter or for a longer period of time, the technique loses its power. The trick is to find the match between what the child knows and the teaching strategy needed to move the child toward the next step in development.
To identify such a window of opportunity, a teacher must frequently assess a child's progress and be able to use the results of assessment immediately. Ongoing and informative assessment can illuminate windows of opportunity and guide decisions about whether a specific instructional technique matches a child's individual needs.
