Thank you @caseysgenstore for making delicious breakfast pizzas for our #GDWStaff to enjoy this morning! It was the perfect way to kick off our PD on content differentiation and a symbol of how we can accommodate our learners’ needs (gluten-free, veggie, sausage, & bacon). #D300

@a2Dteacher Love this response to @cat3y article,”The Bridge Between Today’s Lesson and Tomorrow’s”.The power of formative assessment lies within the ability of the educator to leverage the data gathered to plan for tomorrow’s lesson & each student’s needs. #GDW #FirstGrade #D300

@DahlemKim This is wonderful news! All throughout our coursework I would admire you as you journaled about your dissertation in your black notebook. May that notebook & Faith continue to guide you toward a successful defense. (Both were key in my journey!) You are an inspiration,@DahlemKim!
