Thoughts on all things literacy in the world of education. Is There a Culture of Teacher Growth in Your School? May 1, 2015. May 1, 2015.

Due to the instructional gains I’ve seen from teachers who read widely about their field, it has become obvious to me that continuing our professional growth is an extremely important aspect of our lives as teachers.

Mrs Krantz was a woman who knew her students, knew what we needed, and worked hard to make sure that we worked hard too.
