January 2018 In-Service

KAIDE hosts an annual IDL Teacher & Facilitator In-service. This year KAIDE did a mid-year in-service on January 29, 2018. Teachers and Facilitators came from around the state to Hutchinson to network and learn about distance learning. Teachers that weren't able to be on-site participated through videoconference. There were several activities and sessions for participants as well as cool prizes.
