Make this work matter.

When working with teachers...

  • Build common ground (shared operational philosophy)
  • Talk about what students need to DO, BE and BECOME and what we need to SEE in classrooms in order to meet our goals

COntinued...

  • Talk about what REAL collaboration looks like, what it means to be led by inquiry and why authentic assessment matters
  • Provide teachers with time to ask questions, provide feedback and to try and fail (so they can improve, and ultimately, succeed!)

Keep at it!

The map is just the beginning, and this is just the first draft!
