SPT Teacher Training Program

Last weekend, we had such a wonderful training at Lisa’s house. Helen Ritchie and Mili Sarmiento-Shoemaker gathered with Judy Norman and Lisa for a focused and inspiring long weekend dedicated to developing Helen and Mili’s SPT Teacher Training skills. It was a deeply enriching weekend, full of collaboration, laughter and skills gained!
