This document summarizes a teacher's journey of inquiry into improving student learning through targeted data collection, identification of focus students, implementation of new classroom practices, and reflection. The teacher gathered various assessment data to identify a target group of students performing below expectations. New teaching strategies were employed to address their specific needs. While the target students showed little improvement on summative assessments, their reading attitudes and motivation increased. Most importantly, the teacher developed their own pedagogy and gained strategies to implement in future reading instruction.
