JOHN PURCHASE ROUND 2021
​INFERENTIAL COMPREHENSION

Are students being supported in developing their inferential comprehension skills within worthwhile lessons?

+ Do students and teachers have shared clarity?

    + Is the lesson pitched at an appropriate level of challenge, and are students pushed to deepen their thinking?
​

   *  Are we catering for our EALD students to ensure their success?
