Acton Weekly Update 10/12/18
FTCSC Hedgehog Focus
The Hedgehog Concept is based on an ancient Greek parable that states, "The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing." ... Hedgehogs, however, simplify the world and focus on a single, overarching vision, which they then achieve.
Coach's Corner
After break, I will be launching my first coaching cycle of the year. You'll be able to choose from a few different options that will hopefully bring more and more clarity to our literacy blocks. If you need anything regarding your newly started CFA Cycles, please let me know.
