Spotlight on Equity!
We begin every session with checking in and speaking our truth with questions we have, things we are unclear about, and what we are struggling with. This could be work related or more personal. As we share we practice to isolate race and practice the use of the courageous conversation protocol.

What Actually Happens During Tech Tip Tuesdays and Bite-Size PDs?
Have you joined one of these optional PDs before? If you haven't then you are missing out on a very special treat! With us being in year 3 as a Lighthouse school, our Tech Tip Tuesdays have expanded beyond the basic "how to" with technology. With ideas already in mind and a wide schema of tech tools in hand, teachers collaborate and share best teaching practices depending on a topic given. Sometimes even model lessons are scheduled for more practice and understanding. Anyone can present or lead a topic. Subjects and skills change weekly and usually meet a variety of content areas! You can always check the News Flush for what's upcoming or see me if you have a suggestion!
