    ” By Friday, you must have mastered the following three objectives.” (Jon Bergmann)

    I really like the part that this model allows a pace and some freedom to the students!

    One of the things I like about this is that there is FREEDOM in it. I totally agree that if there is not some sort of pacing guide, some students will have “no pace at all’. I have my class structured on a daily schedule for those that need it, but because all of the content is already created for the unit, those students that are able to work at a faster pace are able to do so. Thanks, Jon, for posting this!
