TIG T IME D EFINITION A designated time (45 minutes) during the elementary school day designed for providing differentiated targeted instruction (TIG) to groups of students. TIG time is scheduled at the same time, every day, across grade levels, or grade level clusters. During TIG time, children may leave their homeroom to receive instruction in a different room, from a different teacher. Usually, ELD, reading interventions, or reading and writing enrichment are offered during TIG time.

TIG (T ARGETED I NSTRUCTIONAL G ROUPING ) In the Jefferson Elementary School District 45 minutes (30 minutes on Wednesdays) of TIG/ELD is scheduled daily. TIG is a time for students to be grouped homogeneously. ELD groups are made based on CELDT data. Teachers will use the Language Central curriculum and EL daily routines and Weekly Planners as they deliver their ELD program. Teachers will use the Pearson core program and ancillary materials during TIG for their EO students. Use CST data, diagnostic assessments, unit analysis data and benchmark data for EO groups.
