Would it be weird for me to play this on repeat in my car on the drive home? Or maybe on the drive to HSC tomorrow… Hmmm…

This whole season, you’ve modeled the approach to learning that we all strive to instill in our students. Thank you for taking risks and trying new things. You’re an inspiration!

You are the first cohort member to ever summarize their C21 journey in a rap video. That was awesome!

What a year you have had! Congratulations on all the great learning and for growing as a instructional coach. What have you learned over the past few months once you started your coaching? Biggest first take away?

Let’s all plug into this idea of reflecting. @hprosser, @lfarooq and @vwade and I are all interested in this integral part of education. I’d like to propose that the four us – and counting! – meet during our F2F to chat more about this and how we might make an action plan for this!
