Professional Inquiry Project

For my professional inquiry project (PIP), I decided to collaborate with a fellow PS3 student, Young Shin, to create an "Easy Teacher Toolbox" of instructional strategies.


When lesson planning in the quarter system, Young and I both found that trying to Google search teaching strategies was complicated and unfruitful. 

We decided to create an easily accessible online resource from the strategies that veteran teachers recommended at our high school.
