This professional development series consists of three one-day sessions facilitated by Dr. Jacob White, STEM Research and Administrative Associate with the Gallia-Vinton ESC. Participants are expected to attend all three. The sessions are spaced to allow participants to discuss and apply ideas from each session.

Districts are encouraged to send teams to facilitate grade and/or vertical planning. Individual participants will have an opportunity for support with their individual planning.

GV-ESC can provide classroom coaching for implementation support. Please inquire for more information.
