Professional Learning

Ohio’s regional State Support Teams offer administrators, educators, and support staff a variety of technical assistance, coaching, networking, and professional development opportunities throughout the year. All State Support Team training activities are offered free of charge. 

Registration

Registration for our professional learning courses is available online. Links may be found on each of the individual event listings on our professional learning calendar. If you need assistance registering for a course, please contact Lisa Jenkins or Jill Barnhisel, or call 419.720.8999.

Attendance Requirements for Continuing Education Credits (CEU)

Contact hours will only be awarded for participation in a live in-person or online session. We cannot issue credit for viewing any session recordings.

Professional Learning During the Pandemic

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most State Support Team professional learning opportunities are offered online. When in-person training occurs, proper sanitation, social distancing, and face covering protocols are utilized.

We carefully monitor our team’s health and will notify registrants of any event cancellations or location changes.

Please note: All visitors to the Educational Service Center of Lake Erie West are recommended but not required to wear a mask at this time. Thank you for helping to keep Region 1 healthy!

Meals & Personal Comfort

Food and beverages are not provided during state-sponsored presentations. This is a state policy and applies to all sessions sponsored by the State Support Team Region 1 and the Ohio Department of Education. You are permitted to bring snacks and beverages to training sessions held at our Collingwood Boulevard location.

While we do our best to keep our building temperatures comfortable for all of our visitors, preferences can vary. We recommend dressing in layers for your comfort.

Inclement Weather

We ask that you remain mindful of weather conditions. If hazardous driving conditions exist, call 800.346.8495 after 6:30 a.m. to learn if your workshop is delayed or cancelled.

Should you feel conditions are too unsafe to travel, please leave a message to let us know you won’t be attending. 

Missed one of our training opportunities? We know how hard it can be to get away. Catch up on missed material by watching our recorded sessions.

Please note: While our records are a great way to stay up-to-date with education happenings in our region and across the state, Continuing Education Credit is not available for these videos.

Our consultants strive to provide professional learning opportunities that are timely, relevant, and help you meet your school improvement goals.
