CLT Focus on Monday 12/17/18
- What is Backward Design? Article and Discussion
- Math Focus this Round-- Unless team designates higher need for ELA
Please be conscious of where you are in the process. Are you doing more than looking at the scores? Are conversations being had about what worked well and how we can support our students and one another? This is the MAGIC that I want to see our teams work towards and use to grow our TRIBE!!
