Select the year level and instructional strategy that you wish to emphasize in your lesson plan. On January 20, you will present a portion of your lesson to a small group. Your colleagues will provide feedback based on a rubric. (The rubric will be shared on January 6) Please bring with you lesson planning materials to our session on January 6 11 Model Lesson Assignment
