So maybe we could sit in on a presentation or two! Darlene Bassett is a tough taskmaster with those mentors, but very forgiving of new technologies. (We have a lot of scars from trying to use ATM rooms for the presentations.) The literacy work has had outstanding results at Jay. It's the best example I've seen of a staff development program being truly embedded and changing practice. (I am sure EMINTS meets this high standard, but we didn't have enough poverty to apply!)Joe Makleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13786969961365911098noreply@blogger.com
