I enjoyed the session on Embedding SIM into Pre-service Courses. I have been teaching SIM in my Pre-service courses for about 15 years but it has been individual CERs and LSs. After watching this video I am going to include a unit project for social studies/science based on the unit that was featured. It think it will really help to show the need for support in this subjects and how the teacher candidates can use the different CERs and LSs together to provide this blanket of support. We have been using the Unit Organizer in our students culminating project which is designing a remedial unit of support for students in their student teaching placement. I believe that using this unit project in an earlier class it will assist our students in being more prepared to create that remedial unit for their culminating project.
