Our Continuing Education Department provides a wide variety of professional development opportunities to assist area administrators, teachers, and paraprofessional in updating information and implementing new skills. We will continue to enhance our face-to-face staff development opportunities with some alternative offerings in an effort to better serve the vast geographic region of our counties and to help the educational community stay abreast of educational trends and issues. Our efforts hope to include a combination of new opportunities for learning integrating face-to-face, blended and online learning offerings. Check back for new staff development news and workshops.
