On-site and Blended Professional Development Options
Member schools receive priority consideration for teacher training seminars and professional teacher development with ACSI personnel. We recommend a blended learning(1) environment or coordination with other schools in your area to increase the sustainability and impact of training sessions. ACSI consultants will prioritize their availability for schools that work together for a regional professional development activity.
