Teams used these insights as the jumping off point for identifying key priorities and crucial actions to launch a targeted scope of professional learning support for educators across the district. Discover how this targeted support has enhanced programming for SWDs and is leading to results-driven inclusionary practices. Consider how a similar journey might benefit your district!
