Key questions for Cohorts

  • What school characteristics and practices have been most successful in helping all students achieve at high levels?
  • How could we adopt those characteristics and practices in our own school?
  • What commitments would we have to make to one another to create such a school?
  • What indicators could we monitor to assess our progress?

  • What do we want each student to learn?
  • How will we know when each student has learned it?
  • How will we respond when a student experiences difficulty in learning?
