SWREC Spotlight News Letter-September Edition

Spotlight from our Executive Director
Instructional Specialist Spotlight

August was a fantastic month of learning and preparation! Our team kicked off the new school year with a variety of trainings, including sessions on creating successful IEPs, using Organized Binders, and applying evaluations effectively. We also delved into specialized topics like Dyslexia for a Day and attended external events such as coaching training, and NMCEL. With our annual staff retreat also under our belts, we're feeling energized and ready for a successful year ahead!
