Assessment

Now that you understand our pedagogy, let’s implement this into your first lesson. In a document, begin to organize your thoughts about what the goals are of your first lesson. What are the absolute things they need to learn about? What should they absolutely know at the end and what should they apply? Share this document with your coach and work through the absolutes together.
