What Makes a Great Teletherapy Facilitator?
For the last three years, I’ve been incredibly lucky to work with a top-notch facilitator who logs in from a brick-and-mortar school. Recently, I asked him a few questions to better understand what that role entails and to get some tips he’d like to share. Here’s how that went… Any […]
