Workshop

ACE 25: Please sit on the north (window) side of the room.

ACE 26: Please sit on the south (door) side of the room.

With our remaining time, we will spend time working on lesson

planning. If you feel prepared in your lesson planning, you may
use the time for course, unit or other assignment preparation.

We will sit with groups to help you craft your plans.
