Section 3: Inquiry Focus and Planning
(Attach Pre/Post Assessments and Data Collection Tools)
I plan to incorporate this by providing different teaching modalities during the lesson by using visuals like
anchor charts, hands on by using cubes, and reviewing my organizer of student learning needs to
Differentiated Instruction implement any additional supports for students to be successful during the lesson (movement breaks,
specific seating, etc.).
Focus Students
Directions:
● Identify three focus students for your inquiry.
● Identify special characteristics of the students and include performance data.
● Explain why you have selected them for this inquiry focus.
● Do not use actual names of students.
● At least one focus student should be an English learner and at least one must have an ILP/504
accommodation. The third is your choice, but please identify someone that poses an instructional
challenge.)
● Identify expected results for each focus student.

Section 4: Inquiry Research and Exploration
Directions:
● Locate and read two research articles that have informed inquiry focus.
● In first box, provide title, URL or citation,
● In second box describe what you learned and how it applies to your inquiry project
- The first article discusses how teacher involvement in responding to student differences
positively impacted student learning. This can apply to my inquiry as I am working on meeting
students' learning needs which are all different. By reading this article I learned the more I am
https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1118715.pdf aware of their differences the more I can implement and use them in lessons to help students
succeed in their learning goals.
https://pure.rug.nl/ws/portalfiles/portal/22252004/Differe - The second article discusses ability grouping as a way of differentiation. By grouping students
ntiation_within_and_across_classrooms_in_druk.pdf based on ability you are able to tailor the lesson to meet where each group is at in their
learning. The article does state that regrouping is needed as student learning / understanding
is always changing. I am trying something similar to this with my inquiry where I have students
grouped in pods of varying abilities.
Directions:
● Talk to two colleagues about how they have addressed similar issues.
● In first box, list their names, grade level/content area, …
● In second box, summarize the conversation and what you learned.
- Julie uses many different strategies for differentiation. She uses audio tests for students to
listen to the test being read aloud, she grades the work students are able to complete, uses
sentence starters, and adjusts paragraph writing lengths based on student ability. What I notice
Julie McCree, 3rd grade is that she really focuses on student ability and meets where they are at in their learning.
Allysha Neebe, Kindergarten/ former 5th grade teacher - “I use centers to differentiate in a small group setting. I have also used videos for the kids to
watch and I have adjusted question depth and type embedded in the video. I have also
assigned different assignments to different students. I have also used assignment menus to let
kids choose a variety of assignments. And I usually guide students to certain choices.”
Section 5: Results and Reflection
Directions:
● Record Pre- and post- assessment data into Pre/Post Assessment Data Table at end of document
● Include copies/images of pre/post assessments/directions and the Pre/Post Assessment Data Table with
submission.
● Discuss the findings of your data analysis for whole class and focus students
● Revise the rating for the CSTP inquiry focus, explain the revised rating, and share some ideas for continued
growth.
