ERobbPrincipal Apr 12 @ 8:08 PM EDT

@SeanAThom #divergEd PBS is teaching expectations consistently across a school- and using positives to reinforce appropriate behaviors!

MsCrawford101 Apr 12 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@SeanAThom exactly! Equal does not equal every student being successful #divergED

ERobbPrincipal Apr 12 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@SeanAThom A2 #divergED Some obstacles are training- and staff need to be willing to be consistent and often let go of what they have done
