We started last year under a grant in California. But we have started our work around the unit or chapter. We pay for student-free days and sit down and plan the entire unit (chapter) together. We have done two units so far and this year we will do four. I found thus far that teachers are more engaged in improving their teaching in this form of "unit study" than with the traditional staff development work I was doing before with them. I am not sure what topics you are working on, but if it is in algebra or even pre-algebra it would be great if we could share ideas and products.
