Time to Reflect • How do you see this tool being effective for your teachers in planning instruction? • How do you see this tool benefiting you as an instructional leader of the campus/district?
Always Reflecting on Your Instructional Pacing • Revisit the YAGO-matic after teaching each unit • Adjust the number of days to be reflective of the practical side of instruction not the theoretical • Always be cognizant of where you are in your school year
