Today was a fantastic day full of Professional Learning for our Region 1 AP Science Teachers!
Special thank you to @FralinLifeSci, @ExploreLearning, @pivot_is, @NKalantarians/@VAUnion1865 , @CollegeBoard for supporting our Professional Learning!

[Jason Kennedy | Stop Teaching & Design Learning! @letsquitteachin]

ALL learners receive Tier 1 learning. It's where we make all the needed improvement.

If scores are dropping, if misbehaviors are increasing, if gaps are widening, if Tier 2 & 3 population is growing, then it's a Tier 1 learning issue.

We must acknowledge, accept, & act on this

[Eric Byers, NBCT @EricDoesScience]

@misscruzbioap Congratulations!

@HSHS_Leonard @TilleryLives I don’t even want to talk about it… what is this summer thing people talk about?
