Support for Practitioners:

PD for all instructors (to have instructors that can deliver quality programming to meet the exemplary standards required by MTSU)

Arrange minimum of 2 PD days/year, either in house or send practitioners to regional or provincial events

Two instructors attended Essential Skills workshops; ES now being incorporated into lesson plan development
