SLDS Ambassadors
The Heart of Georgia RESA started the first SLDS Ambassadors' Program in the state. It was so successful that other RESAs have begun a program. The SLDS Ambassadors are a cohort of educators who were selected to become school level leaders on using and promoting SLDS services. The cohort members have been involved for three years, meeting monthly, in learning about SLDS and then sharing the information at their schools. The target audience members for the cohort were teachers or media specialists. Each year as school begins, the SLDS Ambassadors are expected to get new teachers up and going with SLDS, as well as share updates with all school staff. They are responsible for working with Mr. Jesse Peavy and Mrs. Savine O'Neill on scheduling onsite sessions, as needed or requested. (All districts were asked to nominate participants for the first cohort, but some, for various reasons, chose not to select representatives at the time. Some individuals were only able to participate one year because of other responsibilities. )
