You’ve highlighted something that I didn’t in my post – the multiple entry points. The teacher just getting started with something like this, wades in and tries new strategies. The teacher who has done things like this many times shares and leads others, developing those skills. Teachers in different grades and subjects find their own ways to connect. Thanks for that!!! Can’t wait to read your blog posts 🙂

Everyone has the opportunity to find something for themselves, and the creativity of the students that has emerged is mind blowing. You are correct when you say that these opportunities create the impetus for teacher learning.
Welcome back to blogging. Maybe I’ll join you soon. 🙂

I do however, view it the other way around 🙂 I’m lucky to work with such a great team so that I can explore these things in a supportive environment!
