🎤 ✏️ Welcome to our 2024 Elevating Teacher Voice discussion series, hosted by Jan Iwase. The format is simple. A guest educator will read out loud one of their blogs or essays, and then open up the session for discussion. No pre-work, no homework, no fuss, just deep listening, conversations and fellowship. At this gathering, Jan's guest will be WSCB Member, Dagan Bernstein. 🦋
