Dana, Stacy, and Sean will be answering your real, specific questions. No slides. No scripts. Just practical guidance.

In this clip, Stacy breaks down how to tell the difference between conduct that’s truly behavioral and conduct that signals a gap in skills or understanding.

This shift alone can change how we respond, what we teach, and how supported a learner feels.

If you have questions you’d like to ask us, join on March 26 for our Q&A session. Register at: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/GRCvPc8LQBSIj48pgYr7bQ

Wow. We are so grateful to everyone who showed up with enthusiasm and thoughtful questions for our Quick Start Reading session on Thursday.

I’m still working my way through emails, so if you haven’t heard back yet, thank you for your patience. The volume of follow up questions has been incredible, and I’m doing my best to respond to each one.

If your question didn’t get answered during the session, feel free to email me at [email protected] or post it below in this thread so others can benefit from the conversation.

There were so many great questions that we’re considering hosting a dedicated Q&A session in March. Stacy even made a fun image for the session. 😉

More information coming soon.

Grateful for this community.

Happy Sunday.💙💛
