It moves into making a plan on how to help students who are struggling with aspects of the lesson and how to enrich students that are doing well. Stage 6 is basically the same thing, but it is after the Unit exam and is evaluating that assessment. Then looking to reinforce concepts that were not learned well during the next unit.]]> 2018-08-07 14:22:08 UTC https://padlet.com/lana_troy/vy96i1n2t3sw/wish/272208491 Start with the end in mind. Backwards design. Use TEKS and summative assessment to guide instruction.

- Discussion organization/action plan could benefit your PLC determine what your students need for success
- Needs should be based on data and how it connects to your TEKS]]> 2018-08-07 14:29:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lana_troy/vy96i1n2t3sw/wish/272209469 Formative assessment given throughout the learning process.
