How will you teach the lesson? Details help.
This lesson will be taught in a computer lab using a projector to display key concepts, examples,
and steps on a screen at the front of the room. I will walk the instructors through the main ideas,
examples, and steps and address any questions they have while I walk around the lab helping
them. I will ask them to share any ideas or tips they have that are related to the lesson.

Additional materials you will use and how will you use them.
I will print a handout for each instructor and I will email them a link to the information so that
they have it electronically as well.
Evaluation Strategies
I will evaluate how well the lesson worked by having the instructors complete a survey
electronically in the lab. They will give feedback about what worked and what did not work and
if there are other topics or questions that were not addressed that they would like to see
addressed in the future.
