Kodiak’s incoming teachers, along with their partner teacher, gathered on Saturday, February 21st to continue the journey . Together we were inspired by our very own Sally Wilker and Lydia Olsen as they reminded us to stay well rounded, especially this time of year! Then we analyzed student work using a new tool State Mentors Lorrie Scoles, Lesa Meath, and Kevin Spink shared with us. Our day together gave us fuel and practical tools to better help our students reach their goals. Here’s what a few participants had to say about the 2009 Partner Teacher Symposium:

"I really was impressed. Both topics, wellness and student achievement, helped me move forward in my practice"

"Great information to implement immediately!"

"So useful. Please do this again next year!"
