Professional Development Spotlights

Dr. Deborah Tamakloe (white shirt/black skirt), Bill, and Pérsida spent 3 days with the Anloga District Assembly teachers in Ghana. Teachers from 50 schools joined them for this amazing experience, which involved practicing low-cost TPTs which could be used with all students in any setting. Dr. Tamakloe provided important connections for supporting students with special needs. On Day 3, they got a chance to visit classrooms as they embedded lessons with TPTs! It was AMAZING!!!
