What’s New?  RC I has been revised.  With the new structure, experienced teachers might choose to attend the whole course to get more up to date with current practices or attend for a day or two, and not the whole course, for a refresher on a particular practice.  Teachers or paraeducators who are interested in a refresher on a particular practice should contact Jamie O’Hare or Heather Robatille directly to learn more about the schedule and when to attend.
