Provide two examples of questions that would help guide class discussions about data interpretation. Explain how each question could help develop students' ability to analyze data
What will be an ideal response?
Where is the data clustered? Students are frequently not good at analyzing the data to draw conclusion about the population. By drawing their attention to a value that shows up a lot, perhaps this could help them to make a conjecture about the population.
Would the results be different if we surveyed the students at the high school, instead of in our elementary school? If so, how? How could we test this theory? Making and testing conjectures is a fundamentally important skill in all mathematics, including data analysis.

Case 1 – "John" / Case Study / Thinking Critically
What makes this a contemplation case? How do emotions influence behaviors in the main characters? How is factual information consistent with professional literature? Are issues oversimplified? How? Are people stereotyped? How? Discuss teacher dispositions that facilitate or could become a barrier to working with the student discussed in the case (i.e., self-reflection, tolerance for others, collaboration, multiple perspectives, sound ethical judgment, motivation to work with students with a variety of needs, capacity for advocacy). What accommodations and modifications were made for John in the regular education classroom? Why do you think some accommodations and modifications were inconsistently carried out in the regular classroom? For those accommodations and modifications inconsistently carried out, what could the general education teacher have done to be consistent? What are the consequences for not carrying out the accommodations and modifications? How could the IEP process have been used to discuss issues of emotional abuse? What other professionals should be involved and what should they be doing?
