From Melissa Williams-Scott, Ed. D.
As the 2017-2018 school year comes to a close I want to congratulate all of you on the work you’ve done this year under less than favorable conditions. We have seen teachers stretch technology use further and find success in student engagement. Our team is impressed with the hard work you have put in and risks taken. Keep up the great work. Enjoy some well deserved time off, and we hope to see you in our workshops this summer.
