Decription:  
Please join me in reading Ron Clark's newest book. His energy and love for teaching pours forth in every book I have read, and I am loving this one too.
 
From Amazon:

In Be 1% Better, Clark opens his playbook, sharing dozens of ways he and his staff have made change doable. The strategies here work both within and beyond the classroom by breaking change down into “baby steps” that can easily be integrated into daily tasks and that don’t involve months of planning or considerable resources.

Be 1% Better equips educators, administrators, staff, and school leaders with everything they need to get just a little bit better, then watch as these “one percenters” cascade into cultural and curricular shifts that benefit everyone.

Each week participants will share one thing from the reading and will be able to reply to other participants, through the use of Google Classroom. All readings must be completed and comments posted by March 28 at 5:00 pm.

    We strive to bring our educators excellent presenters and of course that comes with a cost. When our teachers and administrators register to attend a workshop or administrator academy, we expect them to honor their intention to participate.  As we move forward, there will be a charge of $125 for participants who register for this offering, but do not attend. Please notify our office five days in advance if you cannot participate.
