The TCIT project at Berryville continues and is producing wonderful results!
On Thursday and Friday preschool and elementary teachers spent time learning about teacher directed interactions.
The TCIT program is based around coaching educators. These teachers will receive immediate, in the classroom, feedback as they master the skill set. We’re so proud of the work they are doing!
