To keep you updated with activities taking place through
the CSPD efforts on the Navajo Nation, I am sending you a “Friday Fax”
with information about current and upcoming professional development activities.
Current Events
This past week, training and technical assistance was provided
as follows:
- The Reading Intervention Strategies training for K–3 teachers at
Pueblo Pintado Community School that was originally scheduled for August
28 and September 6, 2006 has been rescheduled for September 11 due to a
conflict in professional development scheduling.
