The Principal of Change

JULY 7, 2017

Then I finished off a blog post I had been working on and posted it. I have people that are always there to support me who literally go onto my blog and fix errors of mine. The amount of spelling and grammatical mistakes I make in this blog are probably astronomical, or at least more than I am comfortable with.

All three are outstanding (and free), but perhaps the most immediately useful to readers of this blog is Civic Online Reasoning or COR. Might we also study whether learners with solid K12 library inquiry experience perform better than the student in the general SHEG sample ? Social studies teachers will adore these!
