WOW! Powerful words....
This past weekend, we learned so very much at the PLC conference!!! Over the next couple of weeks we will be sharing lots of great information.
The above quote spoke volumes to us both as we work so hard every single day to change the world….on student at a time…. But the great reminder here is that when we push ourselves and change ourselves, we not only get better, but the students we serve reap the benefits.
Reminders:
We will be out…
