Teacher's College @ Columbia University
We have the esteemed honor to host a staff developer from Teacher's College and a group of Instructional Coaches on March 21st & 22nd. The staff developer will be using our students and classrooms to model lesson for the instructional coaches. So what does this mean for you...just keep providing our students with the great instruction from the Units of Study and continuing to meet in Workshop with fidelity. Many of you will get to join in as the staff developer teaches our students the lesson.
