As its name implies, the two themes for this program are REACHING and TEACHING, and each theme is an umbrella for multiple topics. You may choose the topic(s) that you would like professional development services in. (Note: Different topics vary in their scope; some can be combined, others need their own focused time and some are very broad and need multiple sessions. This will be determined once we discuss your professional development needs.)
