On theFigjam board complete the following as a team:

Step 2: (Slide 2) Review What’s on their plate? or the pilot teacher time commitments, by category and percentage of time for each (5 min).
Step 3: (Slide 3) Identify potential Trade Offs (15 min).
Read and reflect on the five categories that are on a teacher's plate - and the respective tasks for each.
Determine which category each of eight BL Essential "Time Fors" belongs in and drag each to the appropriate category.
Ask yourselves: What are some potential trade offs? Where can your team trade, change, remove or combine tasks to provide time, space, and support for RBL pilot teachers?
Step 4: (Slide 4) Document agreements for trade offs and concrete next steps (15 min).
