@nettlecove From what Cohen and Smith said, senior teachers are planning a lot of PD (check out WV/VA collab). Agree that CCSS is sensible! 2:57 PM May 30th via HootSuite in reply to NettleCove

@veenav Really good point! We barely touched on that in this conversation. Wonder if NCTQ is doing anything on this front? 2:33 PM May 30th via HootSuite in reply to veenav
