   1. What information about my students do I want to know? What assessment tools will provide that information? What skills and knowledge is this student demonstrating in this context?

   2. Based on assessment results, what are the strength and needs of my students? What patterns are beginning to emerge? What questions about this student's learning remain?

   3. What do I want to accomplish? What do I need to do? What has to be done now? Who can help me? What is my teaching point? Am I teaching whole class, small group and/or one-on-one? What resources will support student learning within my teaching point? What level of instructional support will students need for this new learning?

   4. What do you care about? What are you trying to achieve? How can we help each other? How can we collaborate? What do I notice about student learning as I'm teaching? What opportunities will students have for practicing the new learning? How do I provide feedback to students about their learning?
