community impact

​

 

Following the Tips experience, we are inspired with ideas on how to improve training and workshops provided to colleagues in the office as well as with the teachers who attend Special Education Boot Camp sessions.

 

We are excited to share some of the ideas that the Tips training ignited and explain how to intentionally incorporate knowledge about adult learning into future sessions.

 

We are grateful that you inspired your neighbors north of the border through the powerful Tips workshop.
