Our Visible Learning Institute is filling up quickly! We are pleased that 22 of our districts will be represented. There is still time to sign up if you and members of your district are interested. We spoke with the facilitator and he suggested that superintendents bring at least one other district person with them so that they can work as a team during the presentations. This is not a requirement but merely a recommendation. If you are interested, sign up as soon as possible.
