[LIT] topics for this year

[Ty Dartez]

This sounds very interesting to me....I am certainly feeling like my 
district goals and requirements are frequently getting in the way of 
what I consider "best practices." (Of course, that almost doesn't feel 
like that makes sense to be saying....because how can something that my 
district doesn't want really be a "best practice"....at least for my 
students. I am finding this to be quite a dilemma this year and would 
love to discuss this.
