Summer Technology PD
Opportunities to Attend PD led by your ITF, Julia Solnek.
Join your ITF in Summer PD!
Summer registration opened on Monday, May 2nd. With so many choices out there, it is sometimes helpful to see a friendly face during training. I will be presenting several of the Technology PD opportunities for this summer. Below you will find the description of the course, as well as all of the days that I will be presenting that particular course. There are many options outside of these for Summer Technology PD, so if the ones I am presenting don't interest you, don't forget to consider our other courses. I'm so looking forward to seeing you all this summer!
