  • help participants learn how to leverage these resources to meet their students' needs
  • walk participants through a lesson-planning process
  • prepare participants to negotiate implementation roadblocks
  • foster a collaborative community among participants
  • introduce a forum for ongoing discussions (beyond the in-person training)
