The Instructional Practices Inventory process for profiling student engaged learning effectively support those contentions. The IPI is a very practical system for understanding learning across an entire school that provides one form of data valuable when a school faculty begins the critical conversations described in DuFour’s quote. The IPI process (a) focuses on student engagement and learning rather than teacher behavior, (b) engages teachers in whole-faculty and small-group collaborative analysis, reflection, and decision-making of the profile data, and (c) provides extensive formative data so teachers can frequently monitor and adjust practices. These components of the IPI process support continuous change and collectively foster organizational learning.
