Avon Welcomes New Teachers!

The LCDLC and the Avon Local Schools Distance Learning Project welcomes new teachers to the classroom collaboration model. Teachers from Avon East Elementary School, Heritage South, Avon Middle School and Avon High School selected partners for the 2005-06 school year during the LCDLC “New Teacher” in-service at the Northern Ohio Special Education Regional Resource Center (SERRC) in Vermilion, Ohio.

The teachers will work with their partners to collaborate and team teach for the entire school year. I am very optimistic that this group of teachers will help enhance their curricula of the students in Avon and provide them resources that will have a positive effect on their lives as well as their academics.
