Balance your "rest and relaxation" this summer by adding some new tools to your teaching tool belt or just hone those skills you currently have with the opportunities below.

Our regional service center is our main provider of professional development, but many subjects offer learning opportunities all summer.

You can find a link to those opportunities utilizing their search feature here.

I will continue to update the Smore as I find more opportunities.

A calendar list of trainings for each month offered by ESC17 can be found below:

• June offerings at ESC17

• July offerings at ESC17
• August offerings at ESC17

There are four days during the 2021-2022 school year (Nov. 22 & 23, May 31, and June 1st) that teachers will have a "comp" day by attending four days or 24 CPE credits of summer training.

The professional development days can be ESC17 training, local training, or group/self-paced training that has been approved by their campus principal.

Click on the button of your subject. Some have direct links to sign up. Others will lead you to a pdf of the summer trainings for the subject and you will need to choose the ESC17 link above to sign up for the training.
