Welcome to our inaugural SSDT Direct sessions!  We are excited to go 'on the road' this Spring and touch-base with district staff who are using state software!  We have scheduled three sessions in April at the locations listed below.  Please review the agenda items (below) that will be covered at each location.  The resources linked below in the agenda is information that already exists in our wiki.  What our team will do during the session is provide a deeper dive into each topic, using a live demo of the software, in order to explain the features in more detail, providing helpful tips and tricks along with the most effective and efficient way to use them. 

If you are interested in attending a session, please click on the registration link for the specified location.  Session locations are open to any district but space is limited so we encourage early registration!
