This weekend we kicked off our 2017 workshops in Atlanta, Georgia. We had a great time learning with teachers from as close as down the street to as far away as Ethiopia. And to our pleasure, Jan Burkins, author of Who’s Doing the Work, also came to share in the learning. Throughout the weekend we shared brain breaks, word work tools , ideas for supporting students with barometer behaviors, and much more. Here are a few of the articles that were referenced:

Launching Daily 5 and CAFE Routines in 15 Days
Many questions were asked and answered, and we know that when one teacher has a question, others want to know the same thing too! In this week’s Tip, we would like to share the three most-asked questions, along with an article that answers each one.
