At Gateway, school is back in session, with all the excitement and frenetic activity those first few weeks entail! Whether this is your first year with students or your 30th, we hope you’re feeling energized by the boundless opportunity of a new year! We also hope you’re finding Early Impact’s resources, research and PD round-ups helpful as you chart your own professional development for 2019-2020. 

We know you’re all incredibly busy this time of year, so we’re keeping this issue brief! But as your students get to know you and each other, we encourage you to focus on ways to both model and concretely teach healthy, respectful dialogue in your classrooms, which will set the stage for a year of great conversations and strong relationships.
