Colleagues,
If you haven't heard of SIOP's Leading Edge Conference, you should learn more about it. It is now an annual event – a great practice-oriented, research-informed exchanges on a topic of collective interest. This year it is high performing teams, and the line-up is great. I am confident there will be many great take-aways for use in the classroom.
More information follows. Best wishes,
Ken
