ETC professional development services begin
with a conversation about school improvement
needs. Based on identified needs, ETC services
are then customized, including content and
materials. ETC PD is often delivered onsite
during teacher planning times. Within the
chosen PD focus, ETC services are further
differentiated by teacher expertise. The PD may
occur over several days spread out once a
month, or over the course of a semester, or an
entire year, including summers if requested.
Sample PD includes: System/School Digital Conversion
