People thought a solution came in a box, it was created as a
resource and tool
Making teaching moves, thinking behind the design
Get them moving fast, walking, drawing, they need to pick it
up, not to make them nervous, keep them moving, need to
be faster responders
The program moves better when the teacher understands the
books better each year

Look at the data and the effects
When you change the design you may change the
effects
Systematic teaching, assessment, intensity to change the

When opportunities are available with fidelity the results
change
