PSS - A school had to move its AI Training date, which opened up January 19th (one of the most requested PD days of the year). We can only fit two more schools in on this day. It is first-come, first-served. If you are interested in getting your school a spot, respond to this email with the word “TRAINING.” I will send you the info.
