Monticello Live

Professional development does not have to be boring, or expensive. This summer, school teachers will have the opportunity to learn how to bring hands-on lessons to students without breaking the bank.

The Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ), in cooperation with the Southeast Arkansas Regional Solid Waste Management District and the Southeast Arkansas Education Service Cooperative, is offering two training sessions in Monticello in August. The workshops will provide free or inexpensive hands-on activities that teachers can use to help students meet many of their learning expectations.
