I just remembered! It was Costa's Levels of Questioning. Here is a basic link to the levels: http://ljhs.sandi.net/faculty/mteachworth/avid-summer-05-institute/oh38costaslevels.htm
AVID stands for: Advancement Via Individual Determination and is a wonderful program for students who are performing middle of the road, along with other criteria. It usually focuses on students who would be the first to go to college in their family, or are from a lower income. The statistics are overwhelming, about 95% (that may be off by a couple percentage points) of students who stay in AVID in middle and high go on to college.

Nothing else that he builds ever lasts. Monuments fall; nations perish; civilizations grow old and die out; new races build others. But in the world of books are volumes that have seen this happen again and again and yet live on. Still young, still as fresh as the day they were written, still telling men's hearts of the hearts of men centuries dead." --Clarence Day "While the rhetoric is highly effective, remarkably little good evidence exists that there's any educational substance behind the accountability and testing movement." —Peter Sacks, Standardized Minds "When our children fail competency tests the schools lose funding. When our missiles fail tests, we increase funding.
