I learned a lot from Paula Lancaster's presentation on High Leverage Practices and how they support and align with SIM. She and Jocelyn led a "decomposition" of the practice of checking for understanding, and what should always be present vs. what should never be present. In my breakout group, there was a teacher who works with visually impaired students who are in a remote learning environment due to COVID19. This brought the concept of equity and inclusivity home to me in a vivid way. I appreciated the opportunity to learn from numerous colleagues -- and see lots of familiar Virginia faces! I feel connected to the SIM Network and energized to continue my work with SIM with teachers and students.
