12 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 Cell 1 Step One Documents: IIP Cells 1-4 Step One: Inquiry Focus

13 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 Cell 2 Step One Documents: IIP Cells 1-4 Step One: Inquiry Focus Handout pg. 7-8

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

15 With a partner: Read the focus questions you’ve crafted Discuss which might need to be rewritten and how they might be improved. Cell 2 Step One Documents: IIP Cells 1-4 Step One: Inquiry Focus

16 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. Step One Documents: IIP Cells 1-4 Step One: Inquiry Focus

17 Individual Induction Plan Cells 3-4 Practice 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).
