webinarsNLSA webinars
The schedule for most of the NLSA Exemplary School Best Practice webinars is now available at Luthed.org. Matt Bergholt has done a great job reorganizing the NLSA tab. It is much cleaner and easier to find information. I encourage you to take the time to visit the updated Lutheran school portal.

 

Thanks to all who have publicized Best Practice Webinars with their schools. Lots of powerful practices will be shared via these webinars again this year. If you missed the live events you may login to the portal to view the archived webinars on-demand. Administrators attending the live event and then sharing the recorded event with their faculty has become a common PD practice.
