Professional Development

Multiple professional development programs are available to our LA GEAR UP partners for the 2020 year. There are credit and non-credit bearing online professional development opportunities that cover content from the introduction to cyber educational concepts to sessions focused on providing social and emotional learning activities that not only educate but also encourage and support. While some sections are exclusively for teachers, there are some opportunities for counselors and parents to engage and learn more.
