Classroom Inquiry Projects

Classroom inquiry projects are determined and driven by the classroom teachers who implement them. In the TLC project, teachers enhanced their instruction of English learners and increased literacy by trying new strategies, refining ones they already knew, and using SIOP (the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol) to reflect on the effectiveness of their work.

We invite you to learn about the teachers’ classroom inquiry projects in more depth:
