Irwin County School System and its educators are dedicated to professional development through workshops. Educators attended a workshop on Emotional Poverty presented by Ruby Payne which brought valuable experience for educators.

It's important for educators to understand and address emotional poverty in order to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment for all students.
