Workshop Overview
The Certified Agile Classroom Teacher (ACT) is an in-depth one day immersion into the world of Agile Classrooms. The course is full of practical, real world techniques, which can be implemented immediately in your classroom, project-based learning program, club, after school program, or teacher team.
