Read below for upcoming professional development opportunities.

For all of our trainings: 

To ease access to Early Literacy Supports trainings and events, Northwest Regional ESD will pay for your sub costs.  Once your direct supervisor approves your attendance and you are registered  for the event in PD Networks, please note in your absence system that you are attending a NWRESD event and the sub costs will be covered by the NWRESD Instructional Services Department.  Your district business office will receive a monthly report of all employees who attended a sub reimbursement eligible event, and will have the opportunity to invoice the ESD for any associated costs.  If you have any questions about this process or our events generally, please contact Laurel Fischer (LFischer@nwresd.k12.or.us).
