  2. Today’s Agenda

  3. Today’s Learning Targets • I have a clear understanding of the long-term plan and expectations for this group. This means I understand and support our group norms and I understand my level of responsibility (journal entries, pre/post surveys, pre/post assessments, board presentation, etc.) • I have a clear understanding of the CASL process that I will take and apply to two units of study throughout the year.
