Well, we did it. Sorry for the mix up with the handouts and questions you identified for focus. Jukes did, however, have them reflect on their own questions and the one thing that they could do in class the first week of school. That one thing they identified might be a point of departure for your follow up conversations next week.


He did not support our Classroom 10 vision with our words and documents though the challenges and changes he identified are certainly embedded in this work. The dinner opportunity was wonderful, we went an hour longer than planned. Here, he did validate our work and much of what he advocated for we are doing. Thanks to Amy for capturing and already sharing some of the sites and information he shared in response to our questions. There will be more as we get online to find the resources he identified.


The man has unbelievable energy and passion for the work. I went to the dinner tired, but left energized and thinking. Hence this entry as I reflect on what I learned, could have done differently, need to do to support your work, worry about what the teachers are saying and how they will respond, and . . .


I look forward to you sharing your thoughts and the feedback you receive from teachers.
