April’s Topic: Bringing I’m Determined to Life in Warren County
This session shares how Warren County Public Schools has moved self-determination from an idea into daily classroom practice. The Warren County team will introduce the I’m Determined Resource Package, a collection of ready-to-use tools, ideas, and supports developed to help educators teach and reinforce the elements of self-determination. The session will also highlight Warren County’s ongoing teacher cohort, where educators take part in monthly professional learning focused on implementing I’m Determined in their own classrooms. The Warren County team will walk through the resources, show how they are being used in real classrooms, and share how this approach has supported implementation across schools.
