Professional Development - Opportunities through Tech Times

The State of Connecticut offers workshops through its individual RESCS. Our RESC is Education Connection, based in Litchfield, CT, but with a Danbury office. A teacher can sign up for any workshop at any RESC in the state; priority is given to teachers within that RESC.

Tech Times comes out twice per year; look for it in your mailbox, or ask in the Media Center. Teachers can register for most courses from Tech Times online.
