The Wyoming Department of Education is pleased to present Phase III in the Professional Development series with Jan Hoegh, Marzano Research LLC. The Art and Science of Teaching will be comprised of two consecutive Units.
Districts should send teams of 6 – 8 educators for both Unit 1 and Unit 2, since The Art and Science of Teaching will span four full days. Teams will include district or building leaders, instructional facilitators, and classroom teachers. Smaller teams will work with others attending the training. Act now! The first 60 registrants for each Unit 1 session will receive a one-year license to the Marzano Compendium of Instructional Strategies!
