In reply to @JodiMos, @FCSVanguard

JodiMos Dec 15 @ 8:03 PM EST

A5 I think can be engaged in an activity w/o empowerment. Just doing no purpose. #fcsvanguard

ShanaVWhite Dec 15 @ 8:03 PM EST

A5: Empowered Ss will give you feedback let you know if the lesson is engaging. They know their opinion is valid so they share #fcsvanguard
