DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAM
Janet Pranschke - Director "I am really enjoying the Webinars. Thank you for this wonderful resource for teachers who live in more rural areas of the country."
Matthew Hoch - (Rome, Georgia) "The information I gained from the courses really clarified my teaching. I had a lot of empirical knowledge, but now I know why and how things work. It just makes you a better teacher across the board because you can speak with authoritative knowledge. Besides, the classes are fun."
