The Gradual Release of Responsibility (GRR) Framework is a responsive teaching model designed to promote literacy development among multilingual learners. It includes four phases: 'I Do' (Focus Lesson), where teachers explicitly demonstrate literacy skills; 'We Do' (Guided Instruction), where teachers guide small groups with strategic scaffolding; 'We Do Together' (Collaborative Learning), emphasizing peer interaction; and 'You Do' (Independent Practice), allowing students to demonstrate their learning independently. Key principles include continuous assessment, flexibility in teaching approaches, student-centered scaffolding tailored to individual needs, and a recursive nature allowing for adjustments based on student understanding. The framework aims to ensure that cognitive and linguistic demands are balanced to empower multilingual learners effectively. Educators are encouraged to reflect on adapting phases for varying proficiency levels among students to maximize participation and progress.
