All roads to school improvement go through professional development. There is no powerful strategy that can be implemented without people learning how to do new and different work. Too often, educators haven't had a powerful learning experience in decades, so how will they know if their students are having one? Region 14 ESC strives to offer you opportunities that will enable you to think about how you do the job you are doing, and how you can do it better.

- Expect more standards and more testing
- Expect acceleration in the demand for excellent professional development. In the 90's professional development moved from being "periodic spasms" to the point where it was expected to be systematic
- Expect more technology in professional development and in education in general

(*Quoted from Willard Daggett at the National Staff Development Council Conference)

We invite your input for professional development activities for all levels of educators...those who are just beginning and those who have only a few years left before retirement. Let us know what you have heard about that has made a difference for your colleagues from other areas, or training you have attended. We may not always be able to schedule that exact thing you want, but we will do our best to offer opportunities which address your needs.
Together, we can make a difference!!
