Curriculum Advisors


Putting together strong and relevant professional development courses is a team effort. The members of our curriculum committee ensure that each course will provide a meaningful learning experience for educators. Our primary objective is to maintain high standards in the courses we offer and provide instruction that is relevant to current educational pedagogy. Members of the CORE Curriculum Committee are experienced educators who have an abundance of knowledge and an awareness of current issues in education.
