Instructional Focus

The Instructional Focus is to build teacher capacity to design rigorous tasks incorporating higher order thinking questions that promote student strategic thinking and reasoning through student-led discussions, utilizing school-wide discussion protocols and DOK question stems to support their questioning skills.
