Your February 2021 Teacher's Guide
Dear Teachers,
During my time at Action, you—our beloved subscribers—have always led the way. By sharing your pain points and needs, you’ve helped us adapt the magazine and teaching support to the realities of your classroom. Never before have we been more grateful for this feedback loop—or more constantly innovating to make your life easier.
You can find more information about two new tools we’ve added this month: interactive Slide Deck Lesson Plans and Spotlight Skill Workouts. We think you’ll love these resources but are eager to hear how we can grow them to best serve you and your students.
Please, please, please send feedback to the email address below, or connect with us in our Facebook group! We can’t wait to work together to fine-tune our latest tools.
Warmly,
Kim Tranell, Editorial Director
