An amazing (and crazy-busy) first week! by Andrea https://padlet.com/abrostek/vqa5csefhht9 Post one positive thing that you experienced in week one! Did you have a meaningful connection with a student? Did you accomplish something you did not expect? Was there a situation this past week that was inspiring or that led to something great? Include your name, unless you prefer to remain anonymous. en-us 2017-08-28 13:15:35 UTC 2017-08-31 19:02:57 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/abrostek/vqa5csefhht9/wish/183124335 I called to schedule a TIEP (one of many) and the parent teared up and said she has never felt more supported at a school before and she wished she would have come sooner! It warmed my heart.
