For example, I am working with 8th grade S.S. on creating a unit using RCDC. If I want to use that for Form 5, do I have to set up a meeting or is it reviewed at the summative? (I feel like I'm struggling to form my question...)

It is a self-reflection on the lesson.  It is submitted with the portfolio in March.]]> 2018-10-07 01:46:22 UTC https://padlet.com/bmathison/emsxastjzob8/wish/289970122 Do I have to make copies of the forms before typing in them?

Use the priority standards in RCDC to guide your lesson planning. You may use your own lessons, or the teacher's lessons, for your observation.
