WH questions / Narrowing our focus, maybe?


I shared a document that I created about "WH" questions with our PLC. Here is the weblink to the file in case if someone wants it:

I indicated that anything italicize and colored red means that these types of question and functions are found and used in ACT testing. Teachers can use this to help establish test questions in their classrooms. Students will be able to learn the types of functions in questions and define an appropriate answer when it comes to study skills and ACT testing. We discussed that some students do struggle with learning the functions of questions. This document may help.

Narrowing our focus:

We discussed that perhaps we need to target one thing as our focus. Willie brought up these three things earlier this school year to ensure that our focus will produce these following:

  1. Ensure that students learn
  2. Culture of collaboration
  3. Focus of results
We are considering using a study skills inventory for our classrooms to see what study skill needs for each student. That way we can see where to start to produce good results!
