## Resource

As the fourth quarter begins and testing season approaches, Michael Bonner shares his strategy for finishing the school year with intention and intensity. In this episode, he reflects on what the final stretch reveals about classroom culture, how he balances preparation without sacrificing students’ love for reading, and why he’s using AI to design high-impact literacy activities aligned to rigorous assessments like the ERB. The focus isn’t perfection — it’s growth. Can students beat themselves?
