This month we reflect on our year of reading scholarship and growing as humans. First we’ll return to the segments we felt had the greatest impact on our practice and our thinking from the research we read.
Later, we’ll reflect specifically on our praxis. We share some of the changes we’re making in our classroom and in our study that is moving us toward our goals as education practitioners.
Finally, we’ll share a bit about how our lives are changing outside of school… and mark the 2023 recipients of the Mug of Honor.
