Below are sources or 'banks' of instructional lessons, and, instructional units in various stages of conception,
design or completion. These are intended to assist in the process of developing and implementing engaging, effective
instruction. My current thinking is that the collaborative development
of instructional units might be the most effective professional learning with regard to the improvement of teaching and learning. This is especially true when combined with the implementation
of the units and collaborative study and reflection of the results - including the collaborative analysis of student work.
With the sharing of DRAFT units, the authors are demonstrating an important
aspect of professionalism by providing their units for review by others.
