The SOS Technology Implementation Framework. Based on years of experience teaching and conducting staff development in educational technology, the SOS framework is a systematic professional development process that addresses the important factors for integrating our technology in a manner that results in high-quality instruction.
What is SOS?
There are critical environmental factors and teacher behaviors that can help you maintain a structured, focused and engaging learning experience for all your students. Research indicates that students who are highly engaged spend more time on task and achieve at higher levels. An instructional setting that is conducive to learning is well managed, positive, inclusive, interactive and challenging yet non-threatening.
Developed by Conceptua Math, the SOS framework is a compilation of exemplary practices that address factors that affect high quality implementation and student achievement. The framework helps meet the challenge of accomplishing sustained, widespread integrated use of Conceptua Fractions in math instruction.
Our implementation workshops and webinars provide practical strategies, built around the SOS framework, that address factors and approaches that can be applied to achieve high quality use of Conceptua Fractions. The framework is easily aligned to any curriculum and teaching methodology.
