Discussion: Input to LFA on their report entitled, Improving Achievement,
Building Instructional Capacity. In small groups, members review the
key ideas in the report and consider these questions:
· Which findings were of particular interest?
· Which draft recommendations are particularly useful for improving
professional practices and should be emphasized in the LFA final report?
· How might the findings and recommendations be used in Kansas
to promote effective professional practices through state policy,
public advocacy, and the work of our organizations?

the study and its findings as a springboard for learning dialogues,
and action in our state?
