HS1+Guiding+Questions

Guiding Questions:

1. How do you address the skill gap in our students? How do you move students forward and catch others up at the same time to close these skill gaps?

2. How do we motivate our students to buy into the curriculum/lesson? What is their incentive to learn the material and pass the 'assessments'? What is the relevance to their lives?

3. What types of assessments will be conducted? Is there such thing as testing overload, and can we avoid this?

4. How will the students, parents, and teachers be held accountable?

5. If the ACT is made up of 53% grammar yet our high school reading standards do not address this, how can we change that?

6. How do we support ELL and/or non-standard English users with standard conventions?

7. How can we make this a cross-curricular project-based learning experience?

8. What role does 21st century learning play in this project-based learning experience?
