Professional Development

Keep an eye out for friendly PD Pete!

Each time you see the smiling light bulb, it serves as subtle reminder to check out the PD board (located outside of the student lounge) and sign up for the events that interest you.

Why sign up for PD events? Well, because:

  • you gain valuable knowledge on a variety of subjects

  • you receive a certificate for your teaching portfolio

  • many PDs provide resources to use during your student teaching and/or internship

  • they cost as little as $4 (depending on the PD) which is incredible considering the usual cost for presentations and conferences

Check out the ESS Blog, the PD bulletin board and the ESS Calendar 2010-2011 for this year's events.

Please stop by the ESS office (room 1009) to sign up.
