@eplewallen The first couple years as LMS are tough. You’ll get em next year! Reach out if you need some ideas!

A2: When I was a classroom teacher, two of my LMS were big promoters of KBA and I helped with promotion regularly. In the two years I’ve been a LMS, I haven’t done anything. It accidentally fell to the back burner as I learned the job. Next year will be better! #KyLChat
