    • Prep and teach five high-interest, one-hour math activity lessons based on Project M2, M3, and A3
    • Observe your students while they work on the math activities to determine if any of them are exhibiting behaviors on our Points of Promise Math Talent Behaviors Checklist.
    • Have your class observed by the Project EAGLE team for two to four of the lessons and participate in semi-structured interviews to share your feedback on the lessons and checklist.
    • Be compensated at your district hourly rate for the time beyond the school day that you spend on this project for professional learning (3 days for 24 hours); lesson preparation (two hours for each of five lessons); and participating in interviews (two to four semi-structured interviews of approximately 45 minutes each).
