Note the trend lines
1. “How often do you talk to staff to look at results from state, district, or classroom assessments?”
2. “How often do you talk to staff about grading students’ work?”
3. “How often do you talk to staff about ideas for supporting challenging students (behavior problems or academic difficulties)?”
4. “How often do you talk to staff about instructional strategies or designing lessons?”
Ratings for the frequency of interactions with all teachers at their school on a 5-point scale (1=Rarely or never, 2=Every few months, 3=Every few weeks, 4=Weekly, 5=Daily)

Sample Problem: Steve traveled the first 2 hours of his journey at 40 mph and the remaining 3 hours of his journey at 80 mph. What is his average speed for the entire journey?
Typical Response: Average Speed = Total Distance/Total Time
= [(2 hrs x 40 mph)+(3 hrs x 80 mph)]/5 hrs = 320 miles/ 5 hrs = 64 mph
The question is equivalent to asking “what constant speed would yield the same area as Area A and Area B combined over a five-hour period?”
Area under the “Average Speed” graph = Area A + Area B
