Students: Everyone
Agenda: (1) First 75 minutes: Task Analysis, Instructional Strategies, Scaffolding, Events of Instruction, Types of Learning, etc. (2) Sedond 75 minutes: (I was absent during this time.)

Task Analysis Revisited:
-We will make recommendations to Dan (and the other authors) concerning misallignments of the learning outcomes (Smith & Ragan, p. 79) identified in the current lessons. We will point out to them that there are some outcomes that are not allighed with an "inquiry-based" instruction. although we will not disregard instructional values of them as far as they are good but minor portions of the lessons.
