Tammie gave me good guidance in the drafting phase, and we co-taught the lesson. I've considered her my coach through the process this year. We've also received good input from our coordinator, Helen Barrier. Here's her email:
"You all are effective partners and really shared the co-construction with each other and your students. In order to complete the Badge we ask that you “tweak” the Concept Diagram with the following changes: 1. Upload the completed diagram including the "Always Present Characteristics”. 2. Use symbols around and under the Key words (See page 8 Step 3 for more discussion on that). I also added examples of this in our feedback 3. Be sure your definition is “tight" including sections 1,2,4. It must include all of the Always present characteristics.

- Shortcut hint: When drafting a Concept Diagram, I always start with the definition I want to end up with and I’ve got my always present characteristics, targeted concept and overall concept!"
