The Professional Development Department recently hosted its first Mentor-Mentee Academy, bringing together more than 120 educators for a day of meaningful learning, collaboration, and professional growth facilitated by Dr. Tammarra Tippett, Program Specialist for Professional Learning.

And yesterday, the Social and Emotional Learning Department brought together more than 100 educators for Beyond the 504 Plan: ADHD, Behavioral Disorders & Classroom Management. Alabama State Senator Rodger Smitherman joined them in support of student success and educator development!
