Agree with @jon but at the same time, two 35 min lessons a week is simply not enough time – no matter how you lead your lesson.
If you do direct instruction / lecture, the question is “how’s that working?” Probably ok for some students… but they probably aren’t the students you’re hoping to find more ways to reach.
Later in the workshop, you’ll see ways to think from a higher level on “what really matters” for your long range planning.
Stick with it despite the challenges the current model presents.
