Hi @stacy-trevino

We all need to give ourselves a firm pat on the back from time to time. As educators, we tend to always point out or notice our shortcomings and forget to celebrate the many amazing things we’re already doing. Great work!

Rather than starting with a unit plan, maybe start with a single lesson. What might a single problem based lesson look like? From there, maybe you can build out to a unit.

A great place to start might be the Shot Put task, which provides a 6 day unit… however just look and think about how you’d organize day 1 first. Then, start working your way through the rest of the unit.

I’d be super curious to hear how that goes!
