lmhawkhill May 23 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A2: A LP is a great tool/guide - BUT as we allow Ts to take RISKS, In my eyes it's an "accountability piece" bc Ss pace lessons #RuralEdChat

MrsDamianoWH May 23 @ 9:03 PM EDT

A3: I think realizing that articulation across grade levels is extremely beneficial and isn't being taken advantage of #RuralEdChat
