Teams will:
Analyze student learning by reviewing success criteria and identifying who met them and who struggled
Reflect on instructional strategies used and evaluate their effectiveness
Use insights from the discussion to plan differentiated corrective instruction that meets the needs of all learners
 
Why You’ll Love It:
This tool transforms data meetings from surface-level responses into meaningful conversations about teaching and learning. It helps educators connect instructional choices to student outcomes, empowering teams to make informed adjustments that lead to improved results.
 
Use this protocol to deepen collaboration, refine instructional practices, and strengthen your PLC’s approach to corrective instruction.
