As the training process for all 4J District staff continues in support of the Wallace grant goals, pictures and narratives of the training process will appear on this website. (Please be aware, however, that not all training sessions have had recordings made of them. This is just a sample. See the Consultants page for an indication of the scope of the training opportunities. Please also note that not all trainings are funded by the Wallace grant, but rather by the school district or by other supportive grants.)

As leadership staff attend trainings such as those below, they also return to their colleagues in their regions and schools to train them in turn, as well as implement what they have learned. Please see the Progress section, Views: 2006-7 for the latest examples, and the Professional Development 2002-07 Summary.
