Professional Development Opportunities

  The NCDPI’s Instructional Technology Division has purchased a statewide license from the United Star Distance Learning Consortium (USDLC), formerly known as StarNet, that will enable all LEAs to access FREE professional development opportunities online.  A wide variety of online modules and video-on-demand programs are available.

  LEAs that would like to participate may download the pdf file, fill out the information requested and follow the instructions for returning the form. The video-on-demand programs and online course modules are password protected.  Once the Registration Form has been processed, each LEA System Level Coordinator will receive an email with an assigned ID and Password. The System Level Coordinator will share that information with teachers in the participating school systems.  In addition, teachers who register for Literacy to Learn: Reading & Writing Across the Curriculum and Best Practices in School Library Media Programs will also be assigned individual passwords to access these online modules.

  With prior local approval, CEUs may be obtained by teachers using USDLC’s programs/online courses.  Certificates of Completion are issued upon submittal of evaluations.

  Professional Development Resources include:

·   No Child Left Behind—Video-On-Demand

·   Literacy to Learn: Reading & Writing Across the Curriculum Online Modules

·   Best Practices for School Library Media Programs—Video-On-Demand & Online Modules

·   Keynote Addresses—Video-On-Demand
