As we embrace the season of Spring, we at the Professional Development Resource Center are here to support you through the final stretch of the academic year. Take time, as the year winds down, reflect, recharge, and invest in professional development that strengthens your teaching and leadership skills. We have designed events that will support you in wrapping up the end of the year and begin your plans for the future.


We encourage you to take advantage of our FREE workshops, which offer CTLE credit, that occur both in-person and virtually. If you prefer to learn on your own, there are on-demand videos and resource articles to inspire your practice. While you prepare for the end of the year, celebrate successes in your classroom, set goals for the upcoming school year, and explore new learning opportunities from the Professional Development Resource Center for Religious and Independent Schools.


We thank you for your dedication to fostering excellence in education. Let's finish the year strong and prepare for an enriching summer ahead!

Please check out our website to register! We can’t wait to see you there!
