But teaching students how to make inferences is not something that comes from a textbook. Your faculty needs this Strategic Teacher PLC Guide on how to help students acquire inferential thinking skills. Buy multiple copies of this guide and use it in your next professional learning community (PLC) to explore research-based, classroom-tested strategies that teach students toDerive conclusions from data by grouping and labeling the data and using the groups to generate and test hypotheses.
