SECO UPDATE

We are pleased to announce our recent grant award from the Martha Holden Jennings Foundation! This grant will allow us to offer free PD for Ohio educators on the Grid Method Mastery Framework. These sessions will be led by Chad Ostrowski and other members of the Teach Better team.

This series will consist of an in-person meeting and two follow-up virtual sessions in the winter of 2022 in the Northwest, Southwest and Central regions of the state. More specific information on the exact sites and dates will be coming out soon.

Registration will be opened to SECO members for two weeks prior to being opened to the public. So make sure your SECO membership is active and if not make sure to join or renew soon.

Be on the look for more information coming out soon and join us on Monday, November 8th at 7 PM, via Zoom, for a kick-off webinar with Chad Ostrowski for an intro to this framework.
