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. (Note: 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.

Other Notes

For a class, that always seemed to have difficulty with discussion the prep for the Socratic Seminar helped them create and engaging and
thought provoking discussion. In the days and weeks that have followed I have noticed more students participating in discussion.
Allowing students to have access to the questions and create the questions seems to be a good way to go, but in the future create even
more structure in the process.
