Eavesdropping on Mill River's Conversations
Mary: Did you answer this question? <points to Google Document>
Laura: Nope. That wasn't me.
Mary: It kind of could have been anyone.
Laura: Pretty much everyone has access to all of this.
Mary: It's kind of scary.
Laura: You're putting everything out there.
Brendan: We're producing so much. Every time I look, there's another new, updated document.

MGI Students Rock
Wow, it's official. At the opening keynote, an exceptional young woman (14 years old) set the tone for the Middle Grades Institute. Yes, it's all about students. Empower them and then watch them amaze with their growth and insight. She (and her co-presenter/teacher) was so phenomenal that it was tempting to write her off as one in a million.
But today I witnessed three adolescent students provide a solid hour of analysis and guidance to two veteran teachers. The teachers were thoughtful and keen to listen. And the students delivered wonderfully. It was a transformative experience for me that left me wondering how, after thinking about professional development and instructional practice for more than a decade, I had missed this obvious component.
