ABOUT THIS MONTH'S TOPIC
When professional development budgets are tight, it can be difficult to help every member of your team to access quality professional development.
Join us for this session where we’ll explore innovative and creative ways to maximize learning at professional development events – with a focus on the upcoming Literacy Texas conference! – and ways to ensure the learning continues even once everyone’s back in the office.
