Hey friends!

I’m officially on spring break this week, and I hope you’ve got some well-deserved downtime coming your way soon, too! Whether you’re already in full relaxation mode or powering through until your own break, I hope you can find a moment to pause and recharge. Since I’ll be taking some time to do just that, there won’t be a newsletter next Saturday—but don’t worry, we’ll be back on April 5th with some great content to dive into when we return.

This week, we’ve got a fantastic video lined up featuring top-notch teaching strategies—the kind that stand the test of time and make a real impact in the classroom. Plus, we wrap up our Emailable PD series with the final showdown in the great debate between direct instruction and inquiry-based learning. Which one comes out on top? Read on and see!

Enjoy the break if you’ve got one, and if not, I hope you can steal a little time for yourself.

Cheers!

You’ve probably heard the debate—should we be using inquiry-based learning or direct instruction? Well, the latest research says the best answer isn’t “either/or” but “both!” When teachers blend structured guidance with opportunities for students to explore and discover, they create deeper learning experiences that actually stick. This week, let’s dive into practical ways to balance these two approaches in your classroom! I hope your teachers get a lot out of it!
