English Area Fall Flex: "Even Better If..." by Carina Hoffpauir https://padlet.com/carinahoffpauir/7hg9o4p5x2byy0ib EBI stands for Even Better If. As a tool, it is intended to provide 1) a shared language and a mindset to facilitate collaboration and connection; 2) a culture of reflection and introspection; 3) dedicated time while something is fresh in your mind to consider how we can improve. What this can look like is simple: look back and say "this is great but it would be even better if…" Please practice EBI in two areas: ongoing work in the English Area and HomeBase implementation/integration in our Area. en-us 2023-08-18 12:19:55 UTC 2023-08-31 20:04:30 UTC hello@padlet.com Syllabus Submission https://padlet.com/carinahoffpauir/7hg9o4p5x2byy0ib/wish/2666116506 It's easy to forgot to submit your syllabus.
