FOCUS:

I was so excited to see how engaged you all were with Dr. Horton!  I hope you walked away understanding the potential impact of High Impact Teaming on our students achievement.  I was struck by the "Where Am I Now, Where Am I Going, Where to Next" questions.  How can you use these to help your student set and achieve their goals?  

Erin Barnett already has them up and ready to use in her classroom:
