Agenda:
- Mandatory reflection and brief partner’s goal-setting for the day
- Teacher hat: Classroom materials preparation--using our activities, a slice or your previous ideas, craft actual classroom materials that you can use with your students.
- Prepare to share out how your activity and materials will engage students in the engineering design cycle and what tradeoffs you will make to incorporate this activity.
- Content area critical friends for engineering design activities
- Revise engineering design plans
- Continuum wall check-in and meta-reflection time (short journal and oral)
- Exit ticket link
Homework: (forever!)

Agenda:
Agenda:
- Goal Setting wall (where's the starting confidence line?)
- Teacher-engineer hat: Slices activity differentiated by content area
- Reflect on the elements and benefits of each processes
- Discuss benefits and confusions of overlapping processes
- A little background on how Lever conceptualized this.
- Teacher hat: Planning partner work: using a slice from our activity, or your growing understanding of engineering design, brainstorm how to “engineerize” an element of your current curriculum and briefly share. Next class we will create materials for your to utilize in your classroom. Please plan with your partner for this (you may work ahead over the month).
- You may use "Low Hanging Fruit" if that helps
- Tools, samples, and resources
- Exit ticket link
Homework: (due December 8)
Watch: IDEO Shopping Cart Project (23 minutes)
Reflect:
· What were the various roles of participation and facilitation in the IDEO shopping cart project? What engineering mindsets did you notice? What elements of math and or science content did you notice?
· For you, would you prefer starting with a four-phase activity or scaffolding the phases one at a time?
Prepare:
· How can you maintain an eye toward the entire engineering design cycle while conducting a one-phase activity?
· Work with your planning partner to solidify an idea for engineering design instruction and begin to prepare for its use in your class.

Agenda:
Agenda:
- Goal Setting wall
- Discussion of readings, how was your reading different from your engineering design process diagram?
- Pumpkin Chunkin' Challenge (Here's the version we did, here's her final edit)
- Co-constructed engineering design diagram (Round 2)
- Parts or whole discussion
- Exit ticket link
Homework: (due November 10)
CHANGED ON OCTOBER 29--Please think about the labs/lessons that you could "engineerize" and use for engineering design instruction later this year. You can use this tool to find lessons and labs that are ripe for engineerizing, they will involve students taking data, more than one possible valid outcome and meet your standards. Please bring some ideas in mind so we can match you with planning buddy in class next time.

Agenda:
- Presurvey link (or do it on paper)
- Goal Setting wall
- Name tag activity
- Co-constructed engineering design diagram (Round 1)
- Focus on problem definition
- Picking challenges activity
- Exit ticket link
Homework: Read and Reflect (due October 27)
Read one of the following based on your interest:
- Science: NGSS Appendix I: Engineering Design in the Next Generation Science Standards (5 pages)
- Math: STEM Gives Meaning to Mathematics (8 pages)
Reflect: (On the MfA web site group MfAEngineering_Lever/or the Forum here?)
How does the engineering design cycle you developed in class compare to that described in your reading? Is either one more or less right?
