Happy Monday Coaches!


April showers are here- and hopefully they will bring us all gorgeous May flowers. This week's resources include a podcast, blog, and financial literacy materials for teachers.


Our April Huddle is on the 28th and will feature guest speaker Michelle Harris from the Instructional Coaching Group. She will be presenting on Direct Coaching for struggling or new teachers and tried and true strategies that should always be part of our playbooks.


Warmest Regards,


Ayla, Beth, & Jennifer
