@jazzmeister2013 @Speak4Power @MrCsajko #pgcps learning leaders engaged and locked in! #mdeschat

jazzmeister2013 Jan 28 @ 8:08 PM EST

boncheri86 Jan 28 @ 8:08 PM EST

A1: school culture #mdeschat

#mdeschat a2 the obstacle for #SLP is the staffing is so tight there is no time to talk to teachers. I have groups every thirty min all day

boncheri86 Jan 28 @ 8:17 PM EST

Our school culture is not bad - but there are ebbs and flows always...I guess it's more of a mood (always changing) #mdeschat
