Professional Development for Teachers, By Teachers

Interested in teaching in an international school? Wondering what in the world is going on in education? Curious about schools located in the vicinity of your next holiday? All these and many more questions are brilliantly answered by visiting The International Educator. Join an amazing community of international and national colleagues.

Look up the many workshops dedicated to this topic by using our search engine.  You may also be interested in educational neuroscience to determine “which findings are relevant for instruction in school” (but you will have to travel to Zurich for that).

Maybe you are broad minded and are looking for conferences in Singapore, London,  or Sydney. Lots of awesome conferences in lots of brilliant locations. Get looking!!!!!!

EPD highly recommends the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. This organization and this website clearly reflect the best in mathematics teaching. Please visit their site for a listing of their brilliant resources.

Look for new conferences in all different locations worldwide. Subjects include critical thinking, technology, excellence, leadership, literacy, data focused inquiry, speech pathology and more. Locations range from the North of Canada through Europe and as far South as Australia.

Where in the world do you want to go?

Want to know if there is a conference in Ougadougou, Nashville, Brisbane, Bali, Hong Kong, New York or any other province, state, city or town in the world? Simply type the name of the location for which you look in the Search bar. Find out all the conferences close to you.

For instance,  watching the Winter Olympics might make you decide to visit Vancouver. Search for Vancouver or Whistler to see if EPD has any conferences posted.

At EPD we don’t typically promote other sites unless they strike us as extremely valuable to teachers. Our editorial team recommends you visit Curriki. It is a very well put together site and  ”is a non-profit dedicated to sharing free high quality curriculum materials”. http://www.curriki.org

Do you know of conferences that we don’t list? Just let us know by contacting us at epd@edpro.org. The conferences should be for educators who teach in the early childhood to senior matriculation grade level, be in English and be of significant interest to educators. Our team that finds postings tells us that they have scoured the globe and there are not many more conferences that meet our criteria. Help us be an even better site, we will appreciate it.

I am pleased to announce the completion and launch of our new website for 2009. A few notes on the new site: Unfortunately we will be unable to offer our services for those using Internet Explorer 6 (approximately 13% of our visitors) as the browser has become nearly obsolete with subsequent versions. We recommend users with Internet Explorer 6 download Mozilla Firefox. Our conference calendar will also be down for the next few days as we prepare it for launch (all other search functions work, however, and conferences are still listed chronologically).

Please let us know what you think of the new site by tweeting us on Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/edprod) or sending us an email at epd@edpro.org.

All the best in 2009,
EPD’s Chief of Technological Operations

Educator’s Professional Development will be under construction starting December 29th until January 1st as we bring our new design online. In the next few days you may experience usability errors or malfunctions — please bare with us as we make the jump to our new and improved website. Please report any errors to epd@edpro.org.

We’ll see you on the other side!
EPD’s Chief of Technological Operations

As a gift for the holiday season we just posted 36 new conferences with many more to appear in the next few days. And at the same time we are simplifying our website. Our anticipated launch date is set for early January. Please let us know how the new site looks and works for you!!!! Please sign up for our newsletter to see many of our postings a week ahead of appearing on our site. A few friends loved the advance notice and we hope you will too!

Here’s what you should look for in our latest postings! Conferences coming up in the next several months include great opportunities for school counsellors, administrators and teachers interested in assessment, Moodle, early childhood education and learning technology. We also have great conferences located in Melbourne, Canberra, Istanbul, Anchorage, Calgary, Miami, Palm Beach, New Zealand, and Los Angeles.
