When we were writing The CAFE Book, our editor Brenda Power opened her computer and said, "We need to hear what teachers really want in this book. I am going to post a message on the Yahoo Board". What resulted were many validating messages and encouraging thoughts which helped us power through the hours of writing required to complete it.

We understand the want and need to be connected to others who are traveling a path we are on and we're tickled every time we are at a conference and teachers gather to meet with colleagues they have been learning with online.

We hope you have the support of colleagues walking with you in your Daily 5 and CAFE journey, but if you'd like to connect with others around the country, here are a few of the forums we are aware of. We believe it is with such colleagues that we are able to reflect and refine our craft far beyond what we could ever do alone.
