Awareness Questions:
1. From the background information, what new awareness do you have about analyzing and interpreting data?
2. How does this practice support analyzing and interpreting data?
3. In a 3-Dimensional Classroom, who do you think needs to be analyzing and interpreting data?
4. What questions did the background raise for you?
Expose Belief Questions:
1. What are your current beliefs about the analyzing and interpreting data practice?
