Create a presentation (the format is up to you) that you can use with your staff when you return to your district that will help them understand NETS 1 & 6 and the Learning and Innovation Skills.
The presentation should:
- clearly demonstrate what it looks like when students are achieving NETS #1 and 6.
- contain a commitment to "next steps" -- what you need in order to help your teachers create classroom activities for students that address NETS #1 and 6.
