The teacher implemented in a high school English course with a large number of struggling students.  Many students took this strategy and applied it almost immediately, but they complained about the words not applying to what they were studying.  We created lists of English content words and student engagement improved.  Most of the coaching initially centered on basic components and responding to unexpected student responses, and then later coaching focused on adapting the model to increase student participation and engagement, as well as generalize the strategy to other courses.
