This year, CRWD (Collaborative Reading, Writing and Discussion) will replace our Writing Circle meetings. CRWD groups of 3-7 TCs meet four times a year on weekday afternoons/early evenings. Descriptions of the topics, and the members of the Continuity Committee who have agreed to facilitate them this year appear below.
If you would like to learn more, please drop in on our info session this Saturday from 11:30-12:15 at the GSE or send Sara Bauer a message so that she can pass along your information to the facilitator. Teacher Consultants will earn PD hours for their participation.
