When asked to illustrate the planning process, teachers across the country shared these images--responses that reveal the great variety of ways one can approach the extraordinarily complex profession of teaching. These are a testament to the art and science of teaching.

We hope you find their work as thought provoking as we do, and we encourage you to try this with your colleagues.

If you'd like more information about how to get the most out of the responses from your colleagues, explore the header links, and don't be shy about reaching out--we'd love for you to have the great, professional experience we had!
