Last Notice: All Teachers:
It is a goal to have 100% of our Core teachers go through the 30 hour GT training and earn the GT Certification. These hours will count towards your Teacher Choice hours and will also count towards your certification hours.
GT training is great for all teachers because it goes in depth into some great teaching strategies for all types of student learners.
I would like to send at least 5 teachers to the training this summer. Please RSVP with me so I can get you scheduled and ready to go. Thank you teachers that have already volunteered to go. It looks like we have 6 teachers attending. It is not too late, please let me know if you are interested.
