Meta-Moment Resources

Following our Chancellor’s Day PD, many of you asked for more support around the meta-moment, and unrolling with your class. Please note the following resources:

  • RULER has created lesson plans for you to use to roll out the meta-moment! See pp. C306-C358 in this implementation guide.
  • Meta-moment strategies (pp. C301-C305) and tips for everyday use of meta-moments (pp. C359-C369) are also in the implementation guide.
  • You can access information from yesterday’s presentation in the meta-moment overview, and additional resources in this folder (including materials geared towards early childhood).
