The session that ties everything together.
This is the big one. Three hours, hands on, end to end, and it sits at the end of the suite deliberately. Backwards planning is non-negotiable in EPI: you cannot sequence a unit until you know what fluency looks like at the end of it, what you are assessing, and how you will recycle the chunks that get you there. By now teachers have all of that. So we take a real unit you are about to teach and plan it together, working sentence builders, MARSEARS sequencing, recycling logic, formative checkpoints and assessment design woven through, lesson by lesson.
By the end of the session, every teacher in the room has a planned sub-unit they can teach next week, not a vague outline and a head full of ideas. This session also works beautifully as a departmental planning day, where the whole team leaves with shared, coherent planning for the term ahead.
Teachers leave with a fully planned sub-unit, a usable planning template, and a far clearer sense of what a good EPI unit looks like from start to finish.
Duration: 3 hours
