Group Members: Brian Rose, Donna Moren, Mike Sidoran Group Goal: Our groups goal is to use several

sources, including Schoology for online discussions, debates, and responses, as a means of improving analytical, writing, and comprehension skills in line with student abilities. This goal help to improve instruction, student learning, and/or professional growth because it will aid instruction and act as an alternative means of reaching all students and eliciting responses from them. It aids student learning because it meets and accommodates students individual abilities. It aids professional growth because we will be expanding our knowledge base as we find articles, and helps us to meet students at their level of need and ability. Domain: 4 Sub Components: 4d.
