Classroom Framework & FLO

In the month of October observations are announced. We will be focusing on regular 15-minute observations and Full Lesson Observation. FLO #1 will occur October 15-November 2. FLO #1 is a 30-45 minute observation that focuses on all four competencies from the Classroom Framework.
