IM Certified Professional Learning events across
states, coast to coast
The community building I saw and the difference from the first day to the second day was humongous. Students were talking to each other, students were talking out loud. I didn’t know these students, and they didn’t know each other, and they were still willing to have conversations and make mistakes and try.
