Appalachian Renaissance Initiative 2 months, 3 weeks agoMy speech students have loved using our pretend play toys. They are great for working towards so many goals. My kids often think they’re getting reward time, but are still working on social and/or language goals while we play!

Appalachian Renaissance Initiative
Public Holler 1 month ago
A consortium of 21 rural school districts made the commitment to share resources and professional learning opportunities and also work to affect policy and protocol in an effort to connect learners to highly effective teachers every day. This resulted in the development of the Appalachian Renaissance Initiative (ARI).
