Workshop Testimonials
"This training was so helpful and pertinent to my school community. It has allowed me to be very reflective on my teaching practices. I am looking forward to all the practical things I can start in my classroom right away! I am excited to incorporate these ideas into distance learning, classroom learning, and family connections."
Lisa
First Grade Math Teacher
"The training was one of the best I have ever attended. As a Physical Education teacher, I work with students of all grade levels and everything I learned can be incorporated into my classes. I will also be able to share with my colleagues in the classroom so that we can utilize some of the training across our entire school district."
