Do you have training designed for all staff performing all roles in your LEA? No worries… The Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) has you covered. GaDOE is working collaboratively with McKinney-Vento.org to provide online professional development and trainings for McKinney-Vento liaisons and district staff.
