Teacher Trainer Participants
ESC 19 El Paso

Nineteen special education teachers and other professionals representing five school districts across ESC Region 19 attended the Project TEDD workshop on October 18, 2024. These educators recognized the need for additional mental health supports for students with disabilities in their schools and were eager to share the information with their fellow colleagues. This was our 20th and final training of the five-year grant, and we are excited to see these teachers train other individuals in their districts.
