2. What are your inquiry questions?

Student Achievement and Teacher Practice Questions

• If teachers use grade level specific instructional strategies in reading comprehension (Reciprocal Teaching) and language development, then will the percentage of re-designated ELL students below the 70 percentile in reading decrease?
• If teachers use grade level specific cycles of inquiry in math, driven by data analysis, then will the achievement gap between the Asian students and other subgroups narrow?
• If teachers teach grade level specific strategies based on specific writing genre and the Standards (grade specific COI), then will student writing be more commensurate with reading skills?
• If teachers implement the Houghton Mifflin reading series with fidelity to the program, providing individual student support and intervention, will 95% of the students meet grade level standards?
