Implementing+Issues

Hello. Is anybody reading this? I was just wondering how people are doing implementing Modeling so far. I did the ball bounce lab and things are running a LOT slower than I thought they would. I have had my first whiteboard discussions, but I'm not sure the kids really saw the value of it. Also, I asked questions about slope, but I haven't gotten to nearly the level of conversation I was hoping for.

How are other people doing with pacing and lesson planning?

We use CScope and I do have some leeway on what I can do. It's just that CScope's first unit is "Graphing Motion" and I don't think my instructional specialist gets it when I say, Yes, I'm doing graphing, but I'm not doing any acceleration until after they have mastered velocity.
