 The Kodály training in SAISD has been operational for 5 years. Our second class of Level III students will graduate on June 11. We are delighted to provide 15 days of training spread out over 1 year. Our teachers like the fact that they have time to implement new training/strategies in-between classes.

 Our new training schedule will begin in September; anyone interested in learning more can contact Ann Burbridge at Aburbridge@saisd.net .
