Professional Development for Nevada's Federally Funded Educators

The purpose of Nevada's Professional Development System is to determine and meet the PD needs of administrators, teachers, and tutors by providing access to high quality PD via all possible/feasible methods and modalities. These offerings are geared to the needs of Nevada’s AEFLA-funded programs, however, all adult educators are welcome to participate, resources permitting.
