Collaborative Planning
Bring a draft plan and ask your Innovator to challenge the reasons behind it.
What to do
Lesson Weaver1. Draft a lesson in Lesson Weaver that works on your target.
2. For each activity, be ready to answer: what are learners learning, how will I know, and what if they struggle?
3. Ask your Innovator to push on your weakest answer.
Short on time?
Bring the plan you were already going to teach, and ask for one challenge.
Quick win for your next lesson
Cut one activity that does not lead to the learning. Use the time for learners to act on feedback in the lesson.

Reflect
Pause for a few minutes. Short notes or bullet points are enough.
- STOP:
Which decision am I least sure of?
- THINK:
What evidence supports it?
- PLAN:
What is my alternative if it does not work?
Next step
Teach it, then use Stage 5 to try something new.
