81 Expanding Our Understanding Of The "Explore" Phase

This week, Nicole and Erin answer a listener question from Michelle in Washington.  Michelle asked, "I would love to know more about how students go through the explore phase. How do you find activities for the students? How do you progress monitor?"  She also asks, "how long is an explore phase?"  We answer these questions and more in this episode.
