INFORMAL GAA PREVIEWS

This is the powerpoint presented at the optional, informal GAA Previews.  This is not a training powerpoint, but rather a preview of the basics of GAA to help teachers who wanted to know a little more about GAA.  Official training will cover in more detail the requirements and expectations of GAA.

This additional powerpoint was used at the Preview Session last year and may be helpful to teachers who are still trying to wrap their brains around the whole GAA process.
