The Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) is sponsoring several professional learning opportunities.

Districts with Star Assessments should be sure to schedule their customized virtual learning before it expires. Each school that uses Star Assessments has at least one hour of virtual customizable learning through the state partnership. Begin the scheduling process here. Check out Professional Learning Topics and Outcomes for possible topics. You will work with a Renaissance consultant to tailor the session to your audience and needs.
