Welcome to the #Forsythpln chat. Tonight we are going to be talking about a great new book, Ridiculously Amazing Schools. I am excited to be your host for this chat. Introduce yourself and share a favorite odd food you love.

Q1:"While the relationships between educators and students are always important, we have come to recognize as the foundation for a ridiculously amazing school is the manner in which the adults in the building relate to each other." What makes your school courageous? #forsythpln
