Design Time

For May:
  1. Schedule time with Dale (planning, application, reflection)
  2. Design opportunities for Peer Feedback into upcoming lessons/activities
  3. Peer Feedback or DRQ/PF: Review, Reflect, Iterate:
    • Consider tweaking/modifying a previous activity to provide students with an opportunity to "practice" their learning.
    • Consider tweaking an existing activity so it includes all 3 components (Documentation, Reflection, Questioning). Ready for a Challenge? Include Peer Feedback
    • Flexibility is Fabulous! - how and how often are students engaging in each? How might you (re)design existing activities to better leverage use of time, pace, path and/or place?
    • Remember: small shifts, big impact!
  4. Feeding Ourselves & Each Other:
