You can plow through it quickly and put the ideas into action immediately. It is very teacher friendly.

Her comment about spending our time really hit home. The past two years I have taught have been really data heavy and there is so much pressure in my district. Some days it feels like scores are the most important things and it hard not to get swept up in it all. It's important for us to remember that we are teaching children, not a test.

I too will now have "non-negotiables". How many times have I skipped the read aloud to do this or that - no longer! <br /><br />I will certainly be checking out Tanny's books and the resources you have left links for. I am gearing up for the next two weeks will fly by!<br /><br />Thank you.Nancy Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17785303835521700957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542192013770287134.post-80646690761029341692012-08-14T23:16:01.034-05:002012-08-14T23:16:01.034-05:00I also love professional development.

I have never heard of Tanny McGregor or her book, but I'm always looking to add to my professional library. So I'm adding this book to my To Buy list.
