@mctownsley I got caught up in reading @GradesMatterSBG late into the night. It was chock full of usable resources and practical suggestions. Can't wait to share the learning with @CESA11WI
Teaching is a profession. It's a GUILD. We work together - not alone. My fave statement from Diana Hess in a preso full of fave statements. So ... keep working together ... build your guild ... make the teamwork dreamwork. Boom. #sschat#sstlap#usmfac#usmspark#edchat
