Notebooking Calibration
When creating content notebooking pages, you want to keep the following
questions in your mind:

● Is it just one key skill I want to address or is it multiple?

● Can the skill or topic be put into one page?
● Does the notebook page allow for differentiation?
● Does the notebook page make finding information
predictable?
● Does the notebook page have built in supports for CLDE &
IEP/504s?
