Lasley is now a catalyst for trying combat teacher burnout by developing a focused, intentional and tailored, or FIT, instruction program for academic leaders created by the Instructional Gym. window._taboola = window._taboola || []; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbnails-a', container: 'taboola-below-article-thumbnails', placement: 'Below Article Thumbnails', target_type: 'mix' }); window._taboola = window._taboola || []; _taboola.push({flush: true}); googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.defineSlot('/21922006127/zenger/inarticle_taboola', , 'div-gpt-ad-1767121-42').setTargeting('sect', 'article') .setTargeting('page_url', top.location.host) .setTargeting('url', top.location.pathname) .setTargeting("post", 33793) .setTargeting('author', 'Mark Gray') .setTargeting('photographer', '') .addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1767121-42'); }); googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.defineSlot('/21922006127/zenger/adhesion', , 'div-gpt-ad-1767121-50').setTargeting('sect', 'article') .setTargeting('page_url', top.location.host) .setTargeting('url', top.location.pathname) .setTargeting("post", 33793) .setTargeting('author', 'Mark Gray') .setTargeting('photographer', '') .addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1767121-50'); }); The post DC Educator Fights Teacher Burnout appeared first on Zenger News.
