Analyzed the quality of intellectual reasoning of a class of high school students with standardized reading scores in the bottom quartile on 1 day of instruction and examined the knowledge base of the teacher to coach and scaffold a different intellectual culture among students who were underachieving. Findings show the development of an intellectual community for these students. (SLD)
