Michigan Teacher Network Offers Michigan's Most Comprehensive Listing of Professional Development Events
 Michigan
Teacher Network (MTN) unveiled its new professional development
events database in February 2003. The database is available to
Michigan educators throughout the state. This new MTN feature
provides:
- A searchable and browsable database of professional development
offerings in which users can quickly find relevant professional
development events by searching simple keywords, event titles,
or event presenters/sponsors. Users can also browse MTN categories
for professional development events within each area (math,
science, educational technology, educational leadership, special
education, parent events, etc.).
- An online submission form for school districts, Regional Educational
Media Centers (REMCs), libraries, and other Michigan educational
and community organizations to post their upcoming professional
development events.
- Advanced professional development search features that allow
users to narrow event searches by distance; date and time range;
sponsoring organization; grade level; event type (e.g., workshop,
regional or statewide conference, seminar, distance learning);
audience (e.g., school administrators, teachers, media specialists,
technology specialists); event setting (e.g., lab, no lab, interactive
video, interactive online); and professional development standards.
- Offerings aligned to National
Staff Development Council (NSDC) Standards, Teaching and
Learning Standards, and Technology
Standards for School Administrators (TSSA).
