• How is this process similar or different than from how you typically examine instructional tasks?
• What lingering questions do you still have about the task analysis process? • What are the advantages of first brainstorming a list of task demands and then
going back to consult resources related to each lens? • Can you envision engaging in this task analysis process as part of your
professional learning? • In what venue (e.g. professional learning community, grade-level planning
meetings, individually) can you imagine using this process?
