Region 8 ESC to Offer Learning Connection Training
Because much of the information formerly housed on the IDOE website is moving to the Learning Connection site, seven Region 8 ESC staff members, who have received training by the IDOE, are available to provide Learning Connection training to its member schools at no cost. The Region 8 ESC staff will work with schools to determine the best training options for them to meet their needs, whether this is onsite at the school or at the Region 8 ESC office in Decatur.
