We are seeking 10 dedicated PreK-12 public school professionals to join
this initiative. Selected educators will collaborate with 15-20

Connecticut.

   strategies; and
   - Contribute to annual progress assessments and plan refinement.

We are particularly interested in applications from educators representing:

   - Different grade levels (PreK-12)
