Many thanks to Shirleen for sharing the link to this article. It connects very closely to our shared focus this year, "Supporting All Learners" and reminds us all that compassion outweighs all instructional strategies. I'd also like to provide a Shout Out to Shirleen & Bob. Every time I visit their classrooms I'm reminded what big hearts they have! I encourage all (with their permission of course) to take 5-10min during your conference period sometime this year to visit them and connect with some of OUR exceptional students.
