I had LEP kiddos and I know I did not know what that meant back then-I know I didn't do anything different for them. We have to keep trying new things and learning new strategies-if I ever stop doing that I know it will be time to retire! :)<br /><a href="http://notjustchildsplay.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">NotJustChild'sPlay</a><br />Miss Trayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994698870486768685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605926763598675958.post-4832690102790543342014-05-18T19:06:28.059-07:002014-05-18T19:06:28.059-07:00Em, I think most of us are in need of more grace. ...Em, I think most of us are in need of more grace.

It is so so true that we are constantly changing and need to commit to always looking forward to best practices. But what do we do when coworkers don't care, don't look into best practices and do the least amount of work possible??! It makes my heart hurt for the kids.<br /><br />KelliKellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03917180234005884571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605926763598675958.post-29304799215475700432014-05-17T20:25:37.473-07:002014-05-17T20:25:37.473-07:00Kimberley, I can see you being very good at this. ...Kimberley, I can see you being very good at this.
