Greetings
Teachers,
Please see below for the book study on Yes, And. The book is funny and insightful, and it has a lot of implications for teamwork (like PLCs!)...yes, and it's an easy read! I hope you will consider attending. The administrators and I are studying it now! A shout out to Elisa Burks for developing this study for us!
