Our paths recently crossed as elementary school reading interventionist and instructional coach. Over time, several of the students kept asking us, "Are y'all, sisters?". We would say yes to pique their curiosity. Then as word got around that we were "sisters," they would ask, "Are y'all twins?". Of course, we are! We became a team at school and wanted to reach as many teachers as possible, so the idea of Tale of Twin Teachers was born!
