Upcoming EventsKSLA York Adams Fall Book Study
Children come to school to become better readers, writers, and thinkers, but they also walk into classrooms hoping to be happy. Katie Cunningham argues that happiness must be as much of a priority in teaching as proficiency or achievement. When teachers intentionally design curriculum with joy at its heart, learning becomes more meaningful and memorable. More information on the Fall Book Study and other events for 2020-2021 will be coming soon.
