Cross District Study Group Directions

Districts have the option to collaborate to build study groups across multiple school districts.

Cross district study groups are available for:

• Teaching Authentic Language Arts, Social Studies, Math, and Science
• Differentiated Instruction in the 21st Century Language Arts, Social Studies, Math, and Science
• Inquiry Based Learning in the 21st Century Language Arts, Social Studies, Math, and Science
