PLC WEEK 2
Conquer your FEARS!
Do you have fear that is getting in the way of you becoming the best teacher you can be? Maybe it's trusting a new way of planning or teaching a new way that is different from any way you have done before. Maybe it's not teaching to the test or trusting that we do not need a STAAR camp. Maybe it's moving to more of a student choice classroom. All of these things cause anxiety because of the unknown...I say move to other side of fear! JUMP!!!!
