Quick, reaffirming read: http://bittersoutherner.com/from-the-southern-perspective/education/an-education-resolution

General: 

• If you are going to be absent, please leave printed copies of your rosters for the sub along with the detailed lesson plans and rituals and routines. 
• ELT: PLEASE let Ms. Hogan, Maxey, Ward, or Holland know if we can help with ELT lesson planning, reading/math strategies, etc.  We want to get the most bang for our buck during this time.  That said, we will be doing walkthroughs over the next couple of weeks to provide feedback on ELT instruction.  
• We learn best and most from one another. If you are interested in observing another colleague please email Ms. Hogan, and she will take care of setting it up for you and providing coverage.
