PACE Cohort 1 is divided into two sections: 1A and 1B. Cohort 1A participants are those who began the training program in July 2003. Cohort 1B participants are those who began the training program in December 2003.

All PACE Cohort 1 participants are required to successfully complete all stages of the training program. This includes a pre-service training program, first-year Saturday seminars, an in-service training program after the first year of teaching, and second-year seminars. Since this is an accelerated teacher training program, attendance at all training sessions is mandatory. Certification and potential salary changes will be based on successful completion of the seminars and the recommendation of the instructors. 02/04/2012
