For the past ten years Ms. Cabe has served as a SCWriP Co-director, with a primary focus on coordinating staff development programs. She began work the first five years on a buy-out contract from her school district, and as a UCSB employee for the last five years. In that capacity she developed the IIMPaC model for school-site professional development, conducted the first pilot projects employing the model in her own school district, and has been the coordinator of all subsequent programs adapting the model since that time.
