Project P.a.C.E. - Preparing and Certifying Educators

Region One's Educator Preparation Program (EPP), Project P.a.C.E., uses a blended training model for our teacher candidates. Our blended model includes a combination of face-to-face and online learning opportunities with experienced instructors. Networking with colleagues and getting one-on-one time with your instructors are both benefits of our educators' professional learning opportunities.
