Source Organizations
PD Guide brings together professional development from well known organizations across the independent school community, updated daily. A few organizations are listed here for reference only, with events available on their own sites.
What gets added
PD Guide is a directory of professional development that organizations publish themselves. The criteria below explain what gets added.
- Fit: Does the organization offer professional development for independent school educators — faculty, administrators, and staff?
- Established presence: Is the organization already known to independent school educators? PD Guide indexes well-known providers (membership associations, university programs, and other organizations schools already work with) rather than serving as a discovery service for new ones.
- Who can attend: Are events available to educators beyond a single institution?
- Ongoing programming: Does the organization run PD on a continuing basis rather than a one-time event?
- Published calendar: Does the organization publish its events publicly, without a login, on a page that stays current?
- Adds coverage: Does the organization offer PD in a subject, role, region or format the directory doesn't already cover well?
Payment is not one of the criteria for listing.
Every suggestion tells us something about what independent school educators value. If organizations are added, their events appear in the directory as they're indexed.
