These models are based on how students learn and develop in their academic growth. The are many various ways for students to remain focused and achieve academic success. Some connections I made through reading is the education structure. In schools students are already ingrain in a bell to work to bell system. It ignores all the problems that students and teachers face when giving instructions. How can teachers prepare lesson plans that will  not only grab the students attention but let them retain it and apply to their skillset. I believe having a lesson plan that is really hands on and involves the students engagement can make plans and methods a lot easier to maintain and fluxgate with that. How can teachers as well make lesson around students who are either below grade level or have a disability is key.

the frame work must be reworked. Teacher's can plan lessons that can satisfy the requirements of the given core curriculum but also keep these students engaged . for example a teachers can plan a lesson with Ela at the beginning of the school year and develop a elevator pitch with students to break the ice and get to know one another completing lesson plan based upon that core Ela requirement for the day or even week if the teacher so plans.
