Gradual Release

At the end of the Math PD held last week, the presenter and I talked about "next steps" for TCEA and on topic that came up was the GRADUAL RELEASE concept and how many teachers struggle with this concept.  Below is a video I am requesting all staff to watch so we'll be prepared for our PLCs this week.  If you have any questions or concerns on this topic, please have them ready for discussion in our PLC.

Hope you have had a restful weekend and I will see you on Tuesday!
