Update:

A. Student Discussion and Stand and Talks. This is working but I need to be more intentional. I will carve out some time these week and make a bank of problems that I can pull into easily. FAIL. Still need to do this (we did one stand & talk but I can’t quite figure out what to do for the next one and want one this week…)

B. I will revise the rate units that comes next. MOSTLY DONE. Still in this unit, and still needs tweaking for next year, but improvement.

C. I will work with my team on choosing & using tasks, focusing especially on Anticipatory work. CC and I will try to get together to do some more focused work on this. ONGOING, but we haven’t accomplished much. CC and I are going to try to get together over break. 

D. Make a more final decision around where I want to start in terms of: spiraling (within units for now), learning goals (with multiple levels) or grading differently. DECISION: Spiral within units. I think that I would rather get it to look closer to how I want and then figure out how to assess that than decide how to change things up before reorganizing.
