Working with your group, discuss the following questions and formulate a plan to address ways
to improve in the week claim areas:
1. Examined the claims and assess the areas of weakness. What are we weak in? Why are
we weak in these areas?
2. Where are these skills being taught during our school day, marking period, semester, or
year? How much time is devoted to these claims?
3. What strategies could we initiate to provide better understanding of these areas?
(Individual, Grade Level, and School Wide)
