The authors focus on the gradual release of responsibility instructional framework as a means to help students to be more successful and self-directed learners. To accomplish this goal, lessons are structured to incorporate four interrelated phases:
· Focused Instruction—“I do it”
· Guided Instruction—“We do it together”
· Collaborative Learning—“You do it together”
· Independent Learning—“You do it alone”
