Professional Development for Educators
We work to focus on challenges/tough problems that are important to teachers. We strive to bring you transformational, research-based practices and perspectives, preparing educators to work with diverse groups in an inclusive way and address how students learn at all stages of development.
CES face-to-face workshops for professionals feature engaging, expert instructors and classroom-ready strategies and tools that attendees can apply right away.
We offer a number of fully online workshops and courses – you can attend from anywhere, often with more flexible timing than our traditional face-to-face events.
We also offer blended courses that focus on deep, transformative experiences via multiple means of learning, hands-on work, and engagement with peers in a highly collaborative process.
CES Professional Learning Communities are groups that are hosted and facilitated by CES specialists. To view the list of PLCs and Communities of Practice for the coming school year, click here.
