Train the Trainers Session…

Central Bucks School District Field Trip

Thanks to all of you who attended the Train the Trainers Session!

At Science Companion, we believe that teachers are the best teachers, and we recognize that school districts often struggle to come up with funding to bring in expensive outside trainers. So, we use, whenever possible, a “Train the Trainers” model, where one of our Professional Development Experts comes and works with lead teachers in the school district so they can learn how best to support their colleagues.

Here are some photos of the group that met yesterday:
