- 1. 2013-2014 RT3 Teaching Causes Learning Awards Implementation Plan and Timeline Purpose: All students will learn what we want them to know and to the depth of understanding we want them to know it, and will be able to transfer the skills and knowledge learned to familiar contexts in their present world and unfamiliar contexts in their future world. Commitment: Our commitment is to ensure that every student engages in classroom activities that require the kind of deep reading, thoughtful writing, and informed discussion that prepares him to apply these skills as habitual behavior patterns to new and different circumstances in his future.
