Weekly Update, Monday, 30 November

Dear colleagues,
We are anxiously waiting for the feedback on the draft ES Action Plan. Please, take the time to read the plan, make comments and most importantly provide suggestions in the Google document by Thursday. We hope that you can see plenty of exciting professional learning opportunities in the plan. It would be amazing to be able to manage successfully, and enjoy many of them. Otherwise, this week will be pretty a straightforward, yet another great week of learning.
