I’m always excited to get to share ideas with @KatelynLeitner1 …getting to talk curriculum with a bunch of talented instructional designers? Even better!

Could I happily talk about curriculum all day long? Absolutely. Did we? Sure did. Were these some amazing, on-the-ball educators? I think you know the answer. The Suffolk @SufVAschools Lab School is going to be AMAZING with minds like these behind it.
