Interpreting the Data

What does the data suggest? As you listen to each other’s

interpretations, ask questions that help you better understand each other’s perspectives.

Implications for Instruction What are the implications of this

survey? What steps could be taken next? What strategies might be most

effective? What does this conversation make
