Thank you again for the great discussion this week at the staff meeting. I love that we are talking reading and have a conversations about what we like that we are doing in our classroom and what we want to rethink. Slight change of plan for the next one. Read Chapters 5 and 6 by February 29th and also have the Google slide (link below) filled out. At PLC that day when I come around and have a quick discussion around those chapters. Then if there are any themes or things we want to discuss more then we can use Voxer to discuss more as an entire staff. Hope that plan works for everyone.

Interesting Articles I Read
A Conversation on Character- A blog post from two principals I know. If we ever were to look at changing our character traits I would definitely look at using John Wooden's Pyramid of Success like they use at their schools.
Ron Clark Academy Teacher Application Love their description of what they are looking for in a teacher.
Why Do Teachers Need Instructional Coaches- Peter DeWitt in Ed Week
An Endangered Species, Men in Early Childhood Education- LinkedIn Article
What's Next for Educators after Twitter?- This is why it will never be about the tool and always about the mindset of learning new things and being connected to others.
