Welcome to Pioneer RESA Professional Learning, Big challenges lead to unprecedented growth. From every perspective, Pioneer RESA has undergone a metamorphosis to provide continued support targeting the challenges of today. While we continue to bring research, strategies, innovations, and ideas to you, our consultants, project and program directors, and instructional technologists have focused on bringing professional learning, job-alikes, and communication opportunities to you in a virtual and/or face-to-face setting. In order to blend participants in a virtual/face-to-face format so that all participants experience a consistent, seamless, and harmonious event, Pioneer RESA is upgrading the professional learning spaces. We are incorporating a presenter tracking camera, inceiling microphones, and audience cameras. Pioneer RESA is also implementing a new service, Pioneer+. This service includes our new Grab and Go format – virtual drop-in sessions of 30 minutes or less for professional learning and conversation. This aligns with our dedication to supporting more effective, streamlined, and full-featured professional learning opportunities. Our continued focus is to provide a platform for communication through a multi-source information stream. Thank you for your continued support as we offer relevant, requested professional learning opportunities. We look forward to participating with you in the unique challenges ahead as we strive to serve you in support of your students.

Warm regards,
