Welcome Wyoming educators!
Submitted by Kim on Thu, 01/07/2010 - 10:50amTPS at UNC is excited to welcome Wyoming educators into our program starting in 2010. Our desire is to build on the success of the regional pilot project in that state and reach many more educators with this expansion. The core of our geographic focus will now include northern Colorado and the Wyoming population centers of Cheyenne and Laramie. Beyond this core area, we continue our commitment to reach the K-12 educator community in outlying areas, now in both states.
We encourage Wyoming teachers to join us at the UNC Centerra Center for our ongoing TPS workshops, and anticipate that offerings in Wyoming may draw Colorado educators as well. We look forward to great opportunities for cross-boundary collaboration and learning.
