Week 2 Inquiry Questions

Through the week, I focused on three questions from projects in my internship plan.  These projects continue to be a topic of discussion with my principal.  In my role as Dean of Students, we have discussed the importance of developing a Parent-Teacher Organization at the High School, the need for a staff development plan, and the need for a summer remediation program. Through these discussions, I made notes and developed the following questions:

1.    In what ways will a summer remediation program affect standardized test scores for failing students?

2.    In what ways can I, along with my principal, best implement staff development on Special Education that will give teachers access to tools that will improve grades and increase scores on End-of-Course Exams?

3.    How will use of a second planning period build professional learning communities and affect teacher learning?

4.    How can I design and implement a Parent-Teacher Organization that will increase teacher morale and create a positive school culture?
