The future of education is built every day by educators like you.

At the Office of Professional Development and Outreach, we create high quality professional development opportunities to help the educational community increase the knowledge and skills needed to meet the challenges of today’s students.

Successful professional development provides tools you need to:

  • Engage every student.
  • Increase knowledge of your subject area and improve professional practice through advanced pedagogy and classroom skills.
  • Respond to students’ academic, social, and emotional needs.
  • Develop personal skills to make you a more successful individual and professional.

The ultimate goal of professional growth is to increase educators’ knowledge and skill, leading to improved outcomes for students such as independent learning, critical thinking, and achievement.

The PDO Team would be happy to help you choose a workshop to improve your professional practice, meet the goals of your Individual Professional Development Plan, or get started with your master's degree through one of our cohort programs. Contact us at pd@kent.edu to find out more!
