Special thank you to Angela Mejdrich, teacher from St. Brendan School, for her efforts to design this initial baseline survey to serve our Catholic schools more intentionally and in tune with the needs of diverse learners.

Special thank you to all the members of the Archdiocesan Diversified Learners Committee, most especially Principals Brian Anderson and Dan Sherman who serve as the Co-Chairs of the Diversified Learners Committee. Currently, the DL Committee has 32 teacher leaders representing most of our regions throughout western Washington and have been extremely responsive to moving forward with our committee work aligned to the OCS strategic plan.

Please watch for specific professional development offerings on Teacher Excellence Day 2014 and 2015 Regional Curriculum Day that are sponsored by the Diversified Learners Committee.
