The journey is determined by the people on the journey - kids and teachers. Standards help us know our destination - but we create the journey by listening, responding and teaching. Thank you for sharing and giving me the opportunity to think and reflect.<br />ClareClare Landriganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413627163568088181noreply@blogger.com
