I am loving this website.  The teaching channel has short little videos regarding teaching, professional learning, and the Common Core Standards.  I see this type of resource in our future. How great would it be for our school to have our own JD channel that we could refer to when we have a question regarding student learning or a place we could share our best practices.   

Think about everything that we have accomplished this year.  We are almost done with our NEU application, we have completed shifted our thinking to focus on student learning, we have worked all year to create our 6 Exceptional Systems on our campus, we have all documented our work and progress with S.M.A.R.T goals, we have all "Unwrapped our Standards", we have all utilized technology, we have all used a school-wide assessment program (D.A.R.T), and we have worked as a collaborative team on common grade level and school goals. Who can say that their entire school has accomplished all of these strides in one year?  Oh-- we can! I see our school going viral in the future with our rock star classrooms!
