Questions for you to Consider
Each team member is asked to complete the Common Core Self-Assessment tool. You can download the document below. Please bring your written answers with you to Day 1 of the Summer Institute. As you consider the questions presented in this tool, also consider the extent to which you could answer each question for the NGSS, as well. There is no self-assessment tool specifically for the NGSS, but many of these questions are applicable to those new standards as well. It's OK if you don't have an answer to every question or if you aren't sure. The act of reflecting on these questions and indicating where your current knowledge lies is just as important.

Poster Session
We hope each team will be able to create a simple poster display that highlights one important success of your current program. These are short and simple posters (see instructions below) that share something for which your program is particularly proud or something that is working well for you and your students, specifically related to clinical practice. We will have a poster session during lunch on Tuesday to share and learn from one another.
