Lesson Level Pacing Session 5b Secondary

Our Learning Targets I can strategically adjust the pacing of module lessons. I can revise lessons in a way that anticipates impact on pacing while maintaining integrity to the standards.

Passing Notes Take a moment to respond to one of the questions below in writing: With regard to pacing, what obstacles exist? How do I ensure that transitions are happening in a timely manner? How do I prepare my students for successful participation in discussion protocols? Are there classroom management techniques that may need to be implemented?
