Diffusion Simulation Game - Cohorts 5 & 6
I know that folks in cohorts 5 & 6 are still getting these completed, but gosh, I just love y'all. Believe it or not, I'm reading everything you write which is why it's a slower turn around.
Your thoughts, reflections, alternate simulation activity suggestions, etc. are just fantastic. I wish that all educators approached their schools and classrooms like you all do. I truly hope this activity gave you a new perspective and excitement to approach coaching from a different frame of mind next year.
