    New Blog Post:  Accessing Inquiry returns in-person in newly renovated space in Northampton

    By Alison Noyes

    We are excited about bringing educators together face-to-face again in the newly renovated learning space at CES with added presentation features, and access to a variety of informal meeting spaces for project work time, as well as an outdoor patio we can access for our lunch break. (Boxed lunch will be provided.) 

    Thanks to generous support from the Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) Eastern Region program, managed by Waynesburg University, the workshop will cost $100 per participant (a 65% discount)–$85 for educators from CES member districts.
