  4. Inquiry What: An inquiry is a structured series of teaching activities in which a teacher explores a specific aspect of teaching practice.

  5. Inquiry Why: • Can serve as an analysis of current practice, investigation of new strategies, and application of new learning, to ultimately improve classroom practice and student achievement. • Lead to autonomous, self-reflective practitioners who continue to grow and improve throughout their career.

  6. Inquiry How • An Inquiry provides the participating teacher with an opportunity to: • Gather information about their practice • Identify an area of focus/goal • Research information related to the goal • Develop and implement an action plan • Reflect on collected evidence • Apply new learning to future practice

  7. Importance of the IIP • Significant in guiding the work in semester 2 • Identifies professional development • Revisited frequently and adjusted as learning occurs • Used as a recording tool to document results • Used to reflect on learning

  11. Handout Pg. 5 Year One = Equity Year Two = Special Populations From Initial Assessment What the PT wants to learn Pre/Post assessment data- what students achieve From Initial Assessment PD 2 hr.

  12. Connecting Big Picture to IIP (C-1) • Cells 1 – 4: “Plan” phase • Determine a Focus question • Identify CSTP elements to be addressed • Anticipate outcomes for student learning • Cells 5 – 8: “Plan/Teach” phase • Document research and create an action plan • Apply the learning to classroom practice • Determine results • Cell 9: “Reflect” phase • Reflect on the teaching plan, student work, and observation results • Examine the impact on student achievement • Cell 10: “Apply” phase • Describe the application to future practice • Consider implications for a future focus question

  13. Step One: Inquiry Focus Step One Documents: IIP Cells 1-4 • INQUIRY • Inquiry Focus • Action Plan • Essential Component for Instruction • Observation • Analysis of Student Work • Summative Assessment • Reflection I I P • Year One Focus Area: Pedagogy and Equity • Year Two Focus Area: Pedagogy and Special Populations • Early Completion: Two Inquiries to complete • New Year Two: Specific to their needs ELL and Special Populations Pedagogy and Equity

  14. Step One: Inquiry Focus Step One Documents: IIP Cells 1-4 Context for Teaching Initial Assessment Preparing to Complete Cell 1: Review evidence collected during Modules A and B:

  15. Step One: Inquiry Focus Step One Documents: IIP Cells 1-4 Cell 1 • What might a participating teacher identify as an area of focus in Cell-1 on the IIP (C-1)? • Write a focus area on your practice IIP • Share out group examples

  16. With a partner, review sample focus questions → What are the characteristics of a well written focus question? Possible Answers: Question is narrow enough to measure results Question is broad enough to last at least 2 months Question is directly related to the Focus Area in Cell 1 Handout pg. 7-8 Step One: Inquiry Focus Step One Documents: IIP Cells 1-4 Cell 2

  17. The CSTP questions may be used to help write a strong focus question for Inquiry. Refer to the questions located on pages 24-29 in the CSTP booklet. Discuss: How might these questions be used to assist in the development of an Inquiry focus question? Step One: Inquiry Focus Step One Documents: IIP Cells 1-4 Cell 2

  18. Step One: Inquiry Focus Step One Documents: IIP Cells 1-4 Cell 2 • With a partner: • Read the sample focus questions • Use a (+) for a strong focus question. • Use a (–) for a weak focus question. • Discuss how the weak questions could be rewritten as stronger focus questions.

  19. Step One: Inquiry Focus Step One Documents: IIP Cells 1-4 Note: Focus questions need to be deep enough to sustain a 6-8 week investigation. Questions with a “yes” or “no” answer will not work.

  20. Individual Induction PlanCells 1-4 Samples Cell 1: Students constantly ask me, “How can I get an A?”, “How am I doing?” (Focus Area, Assessment) Cell 2: How do I help all students to understand and monitor their own learning goals? (Focus Question) Cell 3: CSTP 5.2- Involving and guiding all students in assessing their own learning (CSTP element) Cell 4: Students will have rubrics and documentation of their progress in the class. Students will be able to establish learning goals for improvement. (Measurable Student Outcomes)

  21. Individual Induction PlanCells 2-4Practice Using the practice IIP, review your Area of Focus (Cell1) and write a strong Focus Question (Cell 2). Using your Focus Question, identify all CSTP Elements (Cell 3) that will be addressed during the course of the Inquiry. Using your practice IIP, review cells 1 - 3, and identify appropriate Outcomes for Student Learning (Cell 4). Review team/individual IIPs. Verify a connection between Cells 1-4. Identify anything you might change.

  22. Step One: Inquiry Focus Step One Documents: IIP Cells 1-4 Step Two: Action Plan Step Two Documents: IIP Cells 5-8 • INQUIRY • Inquiry Focus • Action Plan • Essential Component for Instruction • Observation • Analysis of Student Work • Summative Assessment • Reflection I I P 23

  23. Read and highlight the key points in the Step 2 directions: Developing an Action Plan. Talk to your partner about the purpose of Step 2. Partners share key points, questions, or concerns with the group. User’s Guide Pg. 36 Step Two: Action Plan Step Two Documents: IIP Cells 5-8

  24. (Cell 5) Dates Action Taken (Cell 6) Research conducted “Steps taken to gain new knowledge:”  Consulting Colleagues  Observing Classrooms Professional Journals  Internet Research (Cell 7) Application Record how the new knowledge was implemented (state each action taken). Step Two: Action Plan Step Two Documents: IIP Cells 5-8

  25. Professional Development Handout Pg. 9-10 • Review the criteria for PD and suggested options • Review the PD Rationale • PTs will need to complete a PD Rationale and submit it as part of their Inquiry folder in May

  26. Review IIP Cell 8 Continue using the practice IIP to record specific examples of (possible) classroom changes, as a result of implementation of new knowledge Example: (Cell 8) “95% of my students are able to establish and articulate their progress on a daily basis, using student grade logs and rubrics for self-assessment.” Step Two: Action Plan Step Two Documents: IIP Cells 5-8
