Thinking outside the square is so last century and limiting try the dodecahedron!!! Tony Ryan has heeps of free stuff on his web site Centre4 including these kinda cool mini posters to use with his thinkers keys []

He suggests having some descriptive indicators for each of the key competencies on unit plans Identify what parts of your planning are explicity a result or supporting your pedegogical beliefs/understandings, highlight these and keep a simple tracking system, just helps to ensure that you are actually teaching from your pedegogical standing and not just playing lip service- actually walking the walk so to speak. He suggests that collaboratively we explore a different teaching strategy each week/month and report back and discuss how the teaching strategy supports the learning and self pedegogy
