“The DC State Education
Agency, Adult Education & Family Literacy and its grantee
organizations are extremely pleased with the LACES web-based
training, which provides staff an opportunity to engage in
professional development workshops— at a distance.
LACES web-based training expands the
scope and impact of professional development by offering
training for several levels of agency staff simultaneously
at their program site via the web and telephone. We
can ask questions specific to our programs and receive follow-up
technical assistance and support as needed.”
