First Wednesday of the school year and our teacher crew was already pouring over lesson plans and identifying, sharing and designing instructional practices that align with our work plan goal for this year. Collaborative learning is something we believe in deeply and contrary practice with adults and students. EL Education NYC Outward Bound Schools CIOB Citywide PTA of MELS
