Glad to hear that you’re feeling like you’re on the right track!
Your struggle with students arriving with mostly a “procedures first” experience is not uncommon and while frustrating, we are still very far from shifting from a mostly “procedures first” approach to a “conceptual understanding first” experience.
Maybe trying to rally your divisional partners to make a division (or school) wide commitment to work towards that approach might be worth it?
