tool? Other thoughts?

LUNCH

Lay it on the Line

Listen to the statement that is read Line up based on a continuum from

strongly agree to strongly disagree Be prepared to discuss why you choose

to stand where you did

Lay it on the Line The whole child needs to be engaged in order for

academic learning to occur.   High standards are a basis for a caring culture. Data should inform all of our work with children,

families, teachers and educational leaders. All children should be supported emotionally and

challenged academically. I could use the same characteristics to describe

both an effective preschool teacher and an effective high school teacher.

Students in the opportunity gap require a greater focus on caring than they do learning.

Reflections

Reflect on your learning from the day

Consider what/how you will share with those you lead
