Thumbnail Sketch “Sloppy-Copy” (Ian, 2001) Example 1 The middle school that I work at has “Teams.” However, the teams are for the “core subjects” so the 5 – 8th grade students do not see “Exploratories” as “Real” classes. Also, The teams act independently of one another for group governance, discipline, and scheduling special events so the Art, Music, Health, PE, Information Technology, and Technology/Engineering Education teachers are always out of the loop and out of step when we assign due dates, reward behaviors (good & bad), or set learning goals: Example 2
