 KNOW  YOUR  IMPACT

We are continuous learners! That's one way we make an impact on student learning This week we were all trained on how to interpret Exact Path Data.  Also, Cynthia Weyerman lead two different math teacher groups to observe colleagues facilitating number talks with students!  Following the observations, these teachers reflected on this practice and what they learned.
