able to be evaluated based on your assessment plan. Note that Semester 3 requires an inquiry question that focuses on use of technology to support teaching and learning.

Focus Students
Directions: Identify three focus students for your inquiry. Identify special characteristics of the students and include performance data. Explain why you have selected them for this inquiry focus. Do
not use actual names of students. (Note: At least one focus student should be an English learner and at least one must have an ILP/504 accommodation. The third is your choice, but please identify
someone that poses an instructional challenge.) Identify expected results for each focus student.

Research/Professional Learning (Identify two articles that have informed inquiry focus. Provide title, URL or citation, and statement of what was learned.)
The first article I found is “Setting, Elaborating, and Reflecting on
Personal Goals Improves Academic Performance” (2010). This relates to
my inquiry question because I plan to articulate the goals at the beginning
of the unit. Then students will set their own personal goals related to the
unit goals. The article focuses on a study conducted at the college level, While researching, I found the second article “Authentic Learning for the
