The JFTK Best Practice Framework features three primary components: Organizing Themes, Organizational Levels, and School System Practices. The Framework rests on the state standards as a basis for teaching and learning. Evidence of Student Learning (as demonstrated on state assessments), in turn, is dependent on a coherent system of district, school, and classroom level practices presented in The Framework. High-Quality Instruction is placed across the top of The Framework to indicate that such instruction is supported by specific district and school practices as much as strong classroom practices.
