Professional Development Opportunities

Introduction

California is committed to building a high quality system of educator and administrator support. The Professional Development and Curriculum Support Division (PDCSD) recognizes the need for developing a statewide infrastructure for professional development that supports educator/administrator learning communities and school improvement efforts.

While the California Department of Education (CDE) has launched a number of high-quality professional development initiatives, the PDCSD has taken a step further in capacity building by creating a Web site for statewide professional development training that will house training opportunities sponsored by the County Offices of Education (COE) and Local Educational Agencies (LEA). In a few easy steps, COEs, LEAs and the CDE will be able to input their professional development opportunities into the statewide professional development website.

This Professional Development Web site is not a registration venue for the professional development opportunities within the database.
