Food for Thought
Volume 23
Push it!
The Salt-n-Pepa commercial doesn't want to go away, but it made me think about what we are trying to do here. We know that to succeed we will need to push, pull, or drag our students to the level of greatness they each have inside. It is why we are focusing on our instructional practice, Depth of Knowledge, and the Common Core Standards. In the end, I have no doubt it will all be worth it. Once again, thank you for reading; I hope you have a take-away from this week's submission that promotes growth in you and your students.
