Happy Friday, LIs!  Thanks for reaching out with the issues your PTs faced during the last Virtual Session.  Teachlikeachampion.com, which hosted the videos, was down.

Happy Friday, LIs!  It's a long haul to Spring Break, but you're all keeping the dream alive! Today is Angela's official last day!  Good luck on your new adventure, Angela!  We will miss you. Gateway 1 and PIPs Gateway 1 closed today, March 8th.  PT performance data is under review and will drive the topics for our first two Responsive Coaching Sessions (RCS), scheduled for Friday, March 22nd.   I'll share with you the names of the PTs who will be invited, based on their Gateway 1 performance. PTs may be expressing to you their anxiety around their performance, particularly if they are placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP).  Please reiterate that PIPs are meant to support not punish or place anyone "on notice."  PIPs target the PTs area of growth and helps to move them to where they need to be before the next Gateway.  Approximately 25% of PTs are placed on PIPs, and only about 5% of PTs are outplaced.
