Here's a thought/idea: Would there be any advantage for you, the Einstein Fellows and/or the SC Coaching Specialists and Coaches to form a group here on MSP2? Also, is there some way that MSP2 could be helpful to either group--place to facilitate collaboration, content development. Also, if there are professional development needs that we could support, we'd love to explore that. For example, any topics that you need addressed and we could host?

- Hey Cherlyn. I got your email and signed up but I'll have to admit that it may be a while before I really use this resource - it looks great. Right now I'm focused on the day to day grind that is the beginning of the year. I never thought I would be a convert, but I truly enjoy 8th grade science as much or more than 7th grade science. Talk to you later.

- Hey, Cherlyn.
So sorry that I didn't welcome you way back when!!!
Thanks for sharing MSP2 with folks. There are several who have come on board in the last few days who identify you as one of their friends. I'm assuming they found out about MSP2 because of you. : - ) Thanks.
