The course/program allows each educator to design a personalized Professional Development Plan to meet his/her specific needs and interests. The program has been developed to serve the needs of educators from all educational levels (pre-K through post-secondary) and all subject/content areas, including administrators, special needs, counselors, etc. Individuals from any state in the USA are eligible to participate. Although most educators will participate during the months of June-August, opportunities would be available throughout the year should a sabbatical or leave of absence be granted.
