    Q3: How are you lifting up your teachers during Back To School Professional Learning as leaders? #EdCoChat
  • ItsAMrY Aug 23 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    #edcochat This is a Q every Admin should ask. No matter what changes you want to make, you need to find champions. And if someone in your school is already doing it...and you don't recognize it...why would anyone think you actually value it? KNOW YOUR Ts and what they do!!!!

    A2 - Collaboratively planning @mcleod PL for our Admin and Digital Learning Coaches. Looking forward to a common understanding of tech integration #EdCoChat

    Important to think through how each of those meetings models for teachers expectations around teaching and learning back in the classroom. #EdCoChat
