NEC offers Professional Development that strives to provide learning opportunities of excellence for educators and professionals to enable them to develop the knowledge, skills and practices necessary to meet the learning needs of all students.
Overview |
WORKSHOPS AND CONFERENCES
Workshops and full-day conferences provide an opportunity for educators and professionals to enhance their knowledge base on topics relating to education, special education, behavioral health and youth issues while also providing an opportunity for networking among colleagues. All trainings are facilitated by presenters with expertise in their field. Workshop and conference selections are based on needs assessment from our member districts and our collaborative. Requests are highly regarded in the planning of all professional and family programs.
We are able to bring workshops to your districts. NEC specialists in special education, mental health, autism, substance use and developmental disabilities can tailor workshops based on the needs of your staff and students.
Youth Mental Health First Aid, a nationally recognized health curriculum, is one of the trainings we can bring to you. For more information please check out this link: Youth Mental Health First Aid
