(When link available, click the event name to view session details or click staff member name to read a brief bio)
In this edition, we wanted to take a few minutes to revisit and reintroduce the Jackson County ISD Learning Services and Instruction team and what we do! Instruction, service, leadership, and community are our core values. Although below you will see a snapshot of professional learning opportunities for a variety of stakeholders, our work and our way of work is much more complex and comprehensive than that. If you have any questions or feedback, please let us know. Thank you for taking the time to engage, learn and lead with us!
