00:01:15.199 --> 00:01:18.479
Our instructional focus and

intellectual discourse and real
life problem solving as measured

00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:42.730
by the Nwe A map growth,
quantitative data our theory of action.

00:01:42.739 --> 00:01:46.879
If school leaders focus on
analyzing schoolwide data to identify

00:01:46.889 --> 00:01:50.209

earth systems and leslie the
solar system.

00:04:14.860 --> 00:04:18.920
These areas will be introduced
via a mixture of hands on

00:04:18.929 --> 00:04:25.470
activities and content specific
