Planning tips
Start small. Choose one class in which to
implement a CAT.
! Choose a class that you have had a positive
experience with and will likely teach again.
! Then ask:
Is there something (specific and reasonably
focused) I would like to improve?
Am I able to dedicate the time and effort needed
to carry out a CAT and follow up on it?
