Discover how ongoing professional learning, restorative practices, and the science of reading are empowering teachers to create stronger classroom communities and actionable strategies that work. You’ll also get a sneak peek into the upcoming October 13 event, where George will collaborate with staff to model practical approaches, celebrate teacher strengths, and foster cross-grade and cross-department collaboration.
