Good evening participants,
As you begin the final day in your M-W morning workshop, take a moment to think about your goals at the beginning of the workshop and the goals presented by workshop leaders. Day three is a great time to work together synthesizing efforts while taking away tangible resources, tools, and ideas to improve teaching and learning.
