From Tammy and Karen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have had a great time swinging by all your schools this last week, either at a site visit, breakfast, or a pop in! For Karen’s first time seeing your schools, she was excited with how much great learning students were doing, the collaboration among adults, and respect between and about colleagues that she saw and heard. If there was a $1 for every time she said,” I have to pinch myself that this is real!” we could fully support our ever decreasing budget! Thanks for all your support!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Site Visits: <\/strong> For the next round of site visits (which will be between now and winter break) Julie, Karen, and I will be doing them together. These visits are going to help support your work, as we would like to plan on visiting 2 classrooms during EL time in which you need to do a mini observation. (please arrange these with staff ahead of time—this is required) After spending about 10 min in each room, our focus is going to be on having you talk about the specific feedback and conversation that you will be guiding with the teacher when you debrief. Think of it as a rehearsal time and a way to get 2 minis done! Make sure you sign up for times that EL is happening. You will receive the link to choose visits tomorrow, first come first serve!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karen’s Contact: <\/strong> Please put Karen’s contact into your phone. It is: Karen Rush, (oops–if you haven’t done this yet, we needed to remove the number, please text Tammy for the number, as we want to protect Karen’s privacy on the greater internet.) Please send her a text with your first and last name and then she will add you in her phone. (As a side note, she loves unicorn emojis!!!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
