We liked the Year 1 content and we’re really excited for Year 2. OESCA and the team at RocketPD have developed a program that will support ESC professionals and district teams to dive deeper into the work. I’m confident that year two will create opportunities for systemic implementation of programs and practices that will address some of our most challenging issues in education today.
