2. A HUGELY important piece of your role in this implementation is to support teams as they analyze the common formative assessment from the first process they worked on. You might recall in our Exemplars IC meeting in May last year practicing sorting papers on the work mat that looks similar to the picture. After examining the students' work, support teachers as they develop plans of how to move students to the next level.

3. The teacher table/workstation component of the math block is roughly half of the math workshop. Therefore, workstations should be aligned to the TEKS. Our curriculum writers spent time ensuring that the workstations available on forethought include process standards. It is our recommendation that teams select stations from Forethought as their primary resource. If you are unsure if a teacher/team is using aligned resources, feel free to contact Tammy or Carrie and one of us will come do a learning walk with you.
