Our State Partners

黑料网 works with states and districts to assure that NISL participants receive professional learning units or credit towards locally-required professional development. University professors who are 黑料网-certified facilitators may deliver NISL and award credentials, a model that the state of Minnesota used with the University of Minnesota. In Mississippi, 黑料网 maintains a relationship with the University of Mississippi and provides training to nearby districts.
