• Workshops are held two-three times a year. Club teachers must attend a minimum of two sessions annually.
• Lessons and supplies are provided free to each participant.
• Professional Development Units can be earned attending the workshops.
• No costs to SMILE Club teachers to attend the workshop.
• Networking time with other SMILE teachers is provided to address organizational concerns, such as planning the SMILE year, coordination between grade levels, and issues in each community/school district.
