Beginning in the fall of

through each center’s school improvement specialist; training to be provided
will include data analysis, test analysis and a model for school improvement
plans. In addition, ESA curriculum specialists will assist schools within
each region with curriculum mapping, 6+1 Writing, and other professional
development opportunities for staff.
Services in each ESA
region will be supported by a grant from the SD Dept. of Education. |
