Act 48 Professional Ethics: PA Codes & School Law
"I believe the live discussions allowed the staff to have a better understanding of the subject matter and to have the ability to ask questions of the instructors.... The clarification piece is key to ensure that the staff is understanding what is being taught.
Educators, at least in my CTC, like to work in teams and having the break out sessions provide instructors an opportunity to share information and ask questions of one another is a safe space."
Laura Delvecchio, Administrative Director, Beaver County Career & Technology Center, Mentor-Mentee Class 12-23
