Differentiate Planning from Internalization | Distinguish HQIM internalization and instructional rehearsal from traditional lesson planning and resource preparation, and understand why strong internalization is a critical driver of effective instruction and favorable outcomes.
Individual Estimate
Estimate: About what percentage of teacher preparation time is currently dedicated to deep lesson internalization (analyzing the lesson, anticipating student responses and misconceptions, and preparing for instruction), rather than logistics, materials, or other planning tasks? | Link to live responses.

What do you notice about our estimates?
Make a copy for your Campus Team and share it with them.
Work through the steps in the activity to prepare for and run a simulation of a full internalization cycle.
Work through the steps in your own materials, in order. Backward-plan your time so the full cycle of internalization and rehearsal can happen.
Use this Individual Reflection activity to pause and consider your insights on what it took to do the work of internalization during the simulation.
1) How able is our team, right now, to lead this work consistently with teachers?
2) Where does our practice usually stop short? What gets skipped, shortened, or squeezed out?
3) Now that you’ve done the work yourself...where are your feet, your attention, and your role, really?
4) What would have to change for us to do this well?
