Faculty Driven Professional Development Now Online

TCCTA members who have not seen the new, free online resources available through The Network should have a look.

The Network is a powerful, new online resource created for the unique professional development needs of career and technical education faculty, counselors and administrators across Texas. By connecting people to people, institutions, resources and ideas, this visionary
site establishes an innovative, centrally located network of past and future professional development programs free of charge. From live training events to on-demand training modules, The Network pulls together programs from across the country in one central, easily accessible clearinghouse for professional development coordinators and faculty. TCCTA helped spearhead the program.
For an overview video, visit www.txpod.org.

The first site of its kind nationally, this Perkins-funded project was created with the help of the following partners: Austin Community College, Dallas County Community College District, Lone Star College System, Del Mar College, Midland Community College, the
Foundation for Professional Excellence in the Community College, STAR LINK, the Northeast Texas Network (NETnet), the Texas Leadership Alliance, and the Texas Collaborative for Teaching Excellence.
