Discussion+Two

**Should the training be a single complete unit, or a collection of exemplary lessons from anywhere in the core?**

**John**,    will you please build out this comment on your suggestion of having the workshop cover a single, complete unit?

Cory: I don't believe we can cover a full unit, even a small one, in the amount of time we have with the teachers. I would much rather see a few good lessons taught (modeled) than assume that they could figure out how to do it from a set of written lesson plans. I'm also thinking of the teachers on our teams -- their time would probably be better spent developing one or two exceptional examples and then leaving the gaps to other teachers in the districts over the next few years.

Charles: How much time will we have together? Two hours on the 20th and then what?

Cory: You can have whatever time you need or want, though I am recommending that the collaboration be facilitated online as much as possible, either through this wiki, or through Wimba or Connect Now, or email if nothing else works.
