The biggest theme that came out of our group discussion yesterday was the need to reach administrators. In particular, it is essential to empower PDers to have conversation about how SIM links with state, district and school level initiatives - AVID, MTSS, PBIS, Marzano Design Questions, Thinking Maps, etc. PDers need to be able to talk in the "Problem/Solution" language - in other words how SIM can help with meeting the demands of initiatives.
