Why?
I am learning lots of great research-based strategies in my learning team! I am always excited to come back to the
classroom and try them. We have great discussions about how the strategies can be used at a variety of grade levels. I also
have a better understanding of school-wide needs and what students are
expected to do at all grade levels. Overall, I feel like our PLT meetings help me grow
professionally, and I can truly say I am learning from my fellow teachers.
