CSDE/SERC Training Series
SERC is honored to have completed the 2023-2024 CSDE/SERC African American/Black and Puerto Rican/Latino Course of Studies Training Series. Participating teachers continue to speak highly of: the speakers and historians that we have gathered, the synergy of the learning community created through the cohort model, and the scaffolded lesson support to ensure fidelity of implementation of the model curriculum.
