Broad instructional frameworks that guide long-term planning and decision-making, including overarching objectives, curriculum design, planning, objectives, assessment, and differentiated instruction.

• A. Moves
• B. Attention Repertoire
• C. Abstractions
• D. Patterns

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is that effective teaching rests on high-level, abstract frameworks that guide long-term planning and decisions about what to teach, how the curriculum is organized, how progress is assessed, and how instruction is differentiated. These abstractions are the overarching principles or theories that connect objectives to curriculum design and assessment across time, shaping the whole instructional plan.

This is why the option describing abstractions fits best. Moves refer to concrete classroom actions teachers take in the moment, not broad planning frameworks. Attention repertoire focuses on what learners can attend to, rather than guiding long-range planning. Patterns describe recurring relationships or sequences, but they don’t capture the overarching planning frameworks that coordinate objectives, curriculum, assessment, and differentiation.
