I hope many of you received a Save the Date notice a few weeks back for our regional capacity building conferences on successfully implementing School Improvement Grants. OESE is partnering with its Comprehensive Centers to connect educators, administrators, and practitioners together to learn from one another and begin creating peer networks and communities of practice. We have four conferences planned for April and May, each in a different location and catering to different audiences. Some basic information on the conferences are below, but watch more detailed information on registration coming soon!
