3.  What insights have you gained about this strategy by talking to other group members?

5.  What did you learn during this first implementation about the strategy, your students, your instruction?
6.  What did you learn when you saw another teacher implementing this strategy?
7.  What did you learn from the feedback supplied to you by another teacher when they observed your implementation of this strategy?
8.  How did you change your thinking and/or implementation of this strategy based on your observation(s), feedback you received, and your experience implementing?
