It Starts With Me!How would you describe effective teaching?Does your school or district have a shared understanding of what kind of teaching you
need in your classrooms?If yes, write down the shared vision.If not, should you? When a school does not
have a shared understanding of effective teaching, what is the consequence on student learning?
Where do you want to be?
