My high school teaching students are working on designing their own 6th grade ELA course. It's so encouraging to see the collaboration and creativity that comes out of these discussions. The future is bright! #futureteachers #teacherchat

Check out my friend, Dr. Dustin, Ed.D 's piece in edutopia about preparing for a successful IEP meeting. All teachers can benefit from his proactive relationship-focused approach. I'm grateful to work with such talented and dedicated educators, like Dustin.
