Recorded live with the faculty of Noor Private School (preschool–grade 2) before the school year. Why nothing can be assumed, the seven steps walked through with the backpack example, what to model in the first three weeks, and breakdowns of real classroom video: lining up, scissors, and the turn-and-talk.

Module 1 - Interactive Modeling for Early Elementary (recorded with Noor Private School, Michigan)

A follow-up session recorded with the staff of Annoor Islamic School. Why expectations must be made concrete, refinements to each of the seven steps, criteria posters and ratings, the formula for explaining the why, a planning template, and how interactive modeling becomes a one-on-one intervention for students who keep struggling.

Module 2 — End-of-Module Assessment

Module 2 - Going Deeper: The Why, Step Refinements & Modeling as an Intervention (Annoor)

Interactive modeling is the seven-step process Michael Abraham teaches Islamic schools for making routines, procedures and behavior expectations concrete enough that students actually carry them out: describe the behavior and the why, model it silently, ask what students noticed, have students model, ask again, practice as a whole class, and give feedback. This course is built from two live trainings, chunked into short video lessons with a knowledge check after each one and an end-of-module assessment.Module 1 – Interactive Modeling for Early Elementary (recorded with Noor Private School, Michigan): assume nothing, the seven steps walked through with the backpack example, what to model in the first three weeks, and classroom video breakdowns of lining up, scissors and the turn-and-talk — plus Q&amp;A on gym, recess, tattling, seating and the age-plus-one rule.Module 2 – Going Deeper (recorded with Annoor Islamic School): why expectations must be made concrete, refinements to each step, criteria posters and ratings, the formula for explaining the why (concrete benefit → social-emotional → religious), a planning template, and how to turn interactive modeling into an intervention for students who keep struggling.Goes deeper than the interactive-modeling lesson in Real Deal Teaching Module 4; the two courses complement each other.

The seven-step process for teaching any routine so kids actually do it, recorded live with two Islamic school faculties: backpacks, lining up, materials, turn-and-talk, gym and recess, the 'why' formula, and modeling as a behavior intervention.
