Your Competitive Edge: Education Initiatives = Revitalized Teachers

 

John Fitzgerald Kennedy once said that "efforts and courage were not enough without purpose and direction. "

Education Initiatives = a revitalization of teachers passions and purposes regardless of experience, seniority, and expertise. This course is most appropriate for educators, administrators, guidance counselors, and mental health counselors. Educators who have been in the field for more than five years have been introduced to Inclusion, Differentiated Instruction, Response to Intervention, Evidence Based Practice, to name a few. Each initiative brings with it a shift in paradigm, beliefs, talents, and expectations. This often produces a sense of complacency that inhibits student’s complete learning experience?
