So many great nuggets from Lunch and Lit!
Like this one from Dr. Marilyn Adams, in discussion with Patricia Alexander and Courtney Hattan.
Adams continued to say, "To teach is to ensure learning."
New Blog:
"Decisions about what will be taught and for how many minutes determine the daily experience of students and how much they learn in school.
I see change unfolding across the country, and this makes me feel excited but also deeply worried."
