At each Fall Regional Event, the participants brainstormed ideas for overcoming barriers. Our P3 team captured the conversations on this Google Document for everyone to see. It also indicates who shared ideas, in case you want to contact that person for more information. We want principals to have the opportunity to connect face-to-face, or even digitally across the state to share ideas, insight, and lessons learned.
