School Focus

In their third year of partnership, Lorenzo Manor teacher scholars are using inquiry to understand how to increase opportunities for students to express their voices through academic language across the content areas. Each teacher also shares an inquiry focus with one or more colleagues to foster a collective understanding of successful student learning.

“Through the collaborative inquiry there’s a real aha moment,” said Carrie Wilson, executive director of Mills Teacher Scholars. “It gives teachers a chance to see how the competencies intersect with their instructional practices.”
