Celebrate Partner Teachers
Let's take a trip down memory lane, all the way back to August, when you reviewed "critical issues for team consideration" with your teacher partner. Your team recognized an area of celebration and growth for the year. How is that going? How would you describe your progress toward your team goal?
More to come at PD this week. Rock on Pirates! Arrrrrgh!
