Thank you for leading me to it. Now I'm on to "The Innovator's Mindset". Kids Deserve It was awesome. So good. It inspired me to start a Twitter account to hook up with other educators and learn more. I tweeted something and Dave Burgess retweeted it!!!! I was so excited! I felt like I just met a celebrity. I've also implemented a reading idea, which led to 17 parents coming in to my classroom to read. Anyway, thanks again. You are my go to Gal for good ideas. Keep it up!<br />AnnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605926763598675958.post-36236393243544543682016-08-20T08:01:52.271-07:002016-08-20T08:01:52.271-07:00It's particularly difficult when you are a ref...It's particularly difficult when you are a reflective teacher and you work for leadership that rejects that process. Why are you questioning the purpose-just do it. *sigh* I love the way you get me thinking! :)Miss Trayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994698870486768685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605926763598675958.post-69194354156449886902016-08-19T19:45:34.695-07:002016-08-19T19:45:34.695-07:00Sara, I want to be that teacher too.
