Assignment: Analyzing data is an important first step. However, the real impact on student achievement comes when teachers create an action plan and then use it to guide instruction, collect ongoing formative data, and adjust to meet the needs of students.

Strong action plans address four key questions:

1. What skill or content will I teach?

2. How will I teach it?

3. When will I teach it?

4. What evidence will I collect to know if my students are learning the skill or content?
