By the end of January, however, teachers are maxed out in what they can do because there are too many things pulling us in various directions. So much so that it can feel at times as if nothing is getting done and we are simply treading water. This conversation is an attempt to gain some traction in our teaching lives by reflecting upon the question of where can we make the most difference and how.","Link":[],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"This is a workshop where educators will work with colleagues to take at least one dormant idea that they had coming into the year and resurrect it for the spring. This process will utilize small groups as the basis of the session.","Presenter":["Matthew C.
