- Who is doing the talking the classroom?
- How much time do students spend on active learning?
- What is the ratio of collaborative vs independent work?
- How often are students given a menu of choices with regard to their learning?
- What protocols lead classroom communication?
- How are the most needy students served?
- What is done to make sure that all students have equal access to learning?
- Do students have time to quietly read books of choice for extended periods of time each day?
- In what ways are students responsible for the classroom environment and endeavors?
- Are family members invited to take part in classroom events regularly?
