 With funding from the Headwaters Complementary Staff Development Program, seven Rappahannock County public school teachers attended the Copenhaver Institute for Teaching and Learning at Roanoke College in June.

The conference was led by several internationally-recognized authorities in educational strategies such as collaboration, co-teaching, inclusive school practices, team building and shared problem solving.

“I thought it was a great conference,” said Karen Ellis, a teacher for 10 years. “I would put it up there with some of the best I’ve been to.”

Seventh grade math teacher Debbie L’Amoreaux agreed. “The main speakers were just amazing, very inspirational,” she said. “Their presentations exceeded anything I’ve ever been to.”
