Problem Statement: McREL Walkthrough data shows that teachers are using the strategy Generating and
Testing Hypothesis 1.85% of their observed instructional time as compared to McREL’s recommendation of 11%
to ensure equal usage of all strategies. Failure to increase percentages in Generating and Testing Hypotheses
contributes to a negative perception of RM Bacon School.
SMART Goal: By May 2013, increase the observable use of the strategy Generating and Testing Hypotheses to
11% as evidenced by McREL Walkthrough data.
