Notes from September 14 1. Tomorrow you get information to begin videos 2. Naava starting a google doc in which we will all work together 3. Naava will work overall timeline and put in google doc 4. We will begin by brainstorming guiding principals for the DI course so that development of each course will be based on the same fundamental principles. 5. We will use the google doc to pose technical questions and Eliezer will respond to them 6. We will use the google doc to reflect on our experience of the training as a way to bring that to our own course design – naava will lead that. 7. Joe offered to share resources on DI from marshall memo.

Question from the field: -Does this recognition of differences lead to teasing or bullying? Or, conversely, does it create an accepting environment that is more respectful and understanding of differences? -Since the teacher's focus may be on a portion of the class, leaving the remainder to work independently, does this lead to classroom management issues including behavior problems and unengaged students?

Insight from Sandy Miller Jacobs: working with teachers who are differentiating throughout the year and making progress but when they get to assessmennt at the end of the year the stress and timi ng cause them to not be able to apply their new skills to differentiated assessment. Lets keep that in mind.
