CTEIG Region 4 Survey

Your CTEIG Region 4 Technical Assistance Providers held four workshops during 2016-2017 based on the top survey results we received last summer. We ask that you take a few minutes to fill out our survey as we will begin planning our 2017-2018 workshops based on the needs of you and your staff.

 

We would like to thank Mammoth High School, Kings County Office of Education, Stanislaus Office of Education and Merced County Office of Education for letting us use their facilities to conduct the workshops this past year. We would also like to thank all of those who attended! Based on the workshop survey results, the workshops proved to be full of valuable information to those in attendance. We hope to see you at our workshops this coming year!
