Today teachers from across Jackson and DeKalb Counties came together to dip their toes into the ocean that we call BEST, and to learn what they can do to prepare their students for the upcoming BEST season.
Northeast Alabama BEST Hub Co-Directors Mike Kennamer and Nicole Carroll discussed
The 42 Days of BEST and
Getting a Head Start on BEST 2012, respectively. Robin Fenton, of
Friends of BEST in Alabama, joined in via webinar and discussed rules, scoring, and software options.
