October/November SWPRSC Newsletter

"Sometimes the most scenic roads in life are the detours you didn't mean to make." ~Angela N Blount When I look back on my career in education it took a much different path than the young girl that was student teaching in McLoud, OK ever thought it would. And I am so glad I took the detours life put in my road. I hope this is your story, too.

Some of you are new to teaching, some are in a new district, some are in a new state but know that all of us at SWPRSC are here to help! Call with your questions, come to a workshop to network and gain new knowledge, get some college credit, meet a mentor! We want to get to know you and how we can serve you.

Maybe you need college credit, PDC points or help in a specific area of education. Then we have a thing or two for you! All of the fall semester workshops can be registered for now. Don't wait. Sign-up, put it on your calendar and come network with colleagues. Hash out issues with help from peers and experts. Hope to see you at a workshop this fall. Nearly all workshops have a virtual option if you just can't come to our site. Most workshops include an option to earn college credit! Click on any graphic for registration forms. Hope to see you soon!

Check out the fall poster for upcoming PD!
