Where Should I be in my GLAD Journey?
In GLAD we have often said that a teacher should be fully implementing the
GLAD strategies in 3 years. Therefore, I am breaking the main strategies into
yearly categories to make this more visual. If I were a principal, these would be
the minimum strategies I would expect to see in each year after initial GLAD
training. As you can see, full implementation by the end of year three, will
require a plan of action & more than just trying 2 or 3 strategies a year.
