  • As soon as 15 visitors walk in a room where teachers are planning, of course, conversation among the teachers stops. It’s hard to see the dynamics that truly emerge among a team and the safety and belonging and critical conversations that happen on teams. Some of the deep work that teams do is hard to see in person. I’m really excited to think about how the Virtual Site Visits videos may actually help to enrich the in-person site visit experience to make some of what’s happening more visible.

  • Being a first-year teacher in this specific team-based model, I don’t think there are any adjectives to describe the amount of gratefulness that I have just because I get to work with so many different people that give me so much feedback on a daily basis. I believe that I am growing 10 times more than I would in a regular traditional classroom because I get to see so many different perspectives and so many different opinions throughout my regular day.
