Thanks for the comments – it’s gratifying to see I’m not alone.

I too have been struggling with the idea that I do most of the cognitive heavy lifting (in planning the “perfect” lessons) only to see minimum gains from students. I really like your approach to this–First set your priorities and plan lessons and assessments to match your priorities(not easy but worth it). Thanks for sharing!

Your three priorities echo ours, and summarize them beautifully! I am going to use your last paragraph as guiding statements as we identify the resources to kick start those cognitive conundrums for our students. I agree with your assessment of a presentation – I began this year keeping my part to a brief intro, basically saying, here it is – what do you see/think/connect? And then getting out of the way to work with students individually. The results have been good! Next year will be even better.
