Professional Development

Thanks to our workshop chair Vanessa Rosa, we have set up some excellent workshops for you for the 2022-2023 school year.
All of these workshops earn you hours towards both the district and state hours.                                                                                                                                                                                    Please get approval from your administrator before signing up.
Workshops are via Zoom.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     You will receive an email with a Zoom link before the workshop begins.

After you complete the workshop, YOU must enter it into MLP as an unreimbursed workshop in order to get your hours.

You simply need to send a copy of your certificate of participation and proof of payment to your treasurer, Kathleen Carvalho, at Walter C. Black School.

We will  also send you information about other workshops that might interest you.                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Finally, check out the workshops given by Mercer County EA, https://mercercountyea.org/.
