Message from the CTE Director
As we navigate new vocabulary (remote instruction, asynchronous/synchronous, social distancing, Zoom bombing), intermittent internet and the myriad of challenges of working from home (with children), the CTE is here to support you. Our office is busy creating a smorgasbord of resources to enable you to make the best of this "new normal." Check out the many resources listed below, on our website, or reach out to us for one-on-one assistance. We are here for you. Relax! Breathe!
Debbie Walker, Interim Director
