Comments:
Responses: 5"N/A"
"I would like to use AST once per unit, not the whole years worth of teaching. AST is not the only method. I've done differentiated units and you can't keep doing them over & over all year long, you get burned out and so do your students. We had AST fatigue by 3rd quarter. "
"Thanks Joan for your patience and understanding."
"Great book study that I think all new science employees as WSD should go through."
