Our Professional Development trainings and workshops are nationally recognized as merging evidenced-based practices with practical techniques, leaving participants empowered and with increased skills, knowledge, and strategy related to content implementation and sustainment. Our trainers are industry experts and utilize the “Sage Way”, developing workshops that allow participants to reflect on current practices, strengths, and challenges, collaborate as a way to create an active learning environment, and create accountability inter-agency strategies to sustain workshop objectives and outcomes.
