Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education offers a free one-day professional development designed to assist in systematically integrating reading and writing in science.
The PD will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with an hour for lunch. Currently, we have three locations and times. The PD is the same at each location.
