Finishing Strong
The school year is almost over, but learning never stops!
As we approach the end of the school year, I want to challenge you to continue in your efforts to increase the capacity for learning for every one of your students. What we do each day is not determined by a one time a year nationalized summative assessment. Our value is demonstrated inside of every nugget of knowledge our students have discovered along the way. Learning is a process for all of us! Take a moment to look at some of the ideas below and perhaps implement some of these into your classroom before the end of the year. Happy Learning!
