Common options are ½ day PD, full day PD, multi-session PD series (spanning the school year).  Dates are mutually agreed upon by the district and CASE Consultants, and our team is able to customize the content to best meet the district’s goals and educator needs. Additionally, we can offer follow-up job-embedded coaching or consultation to support individuals in incorporating new skills into practice.
