How are WE truly deciding to lead our teachers? As managers who control the “work-flow” or #innovative#visionaries who allow autonomy and growth within & beyond school walls, FOR our students! https://t.co/1qRi9V4BRT
Launching Unit 7 today called for a “game” of Tug of War. Scholars shared their ideas about our newest essential question regarding imagination. Looking forward to unpacking their ideas as the unit unfolds. #sdwlit#pumasroar
Scholars using their thoughtful log rubrics to improve their entries and provide their own grows. Amazed at the ownership our 5th grade scholars have been taking in their learning. #sdwlit#pumasroar

@sowinski_emily By focusing on learning rather than teaching, we create a culture where we can embrace productive conflict with one another. #pumasroar
