A new Web site, www.southdakotapd.com, links educators to a calendar of professional development opportunities available in South Dakota.

The site provides a central clearinghouse of training opportunities offered by education-related organizations including the South Dakota Department of Education, School Administrators of South Dakota, Associated School Boards of South Dakota, South Dakota Education Association, Technology & Innovation in Education, Midwest Alliance of Professional Learning and Leadership, and Dakota Interactive Academic Link.

Users can search for professional development workshops by date, by city, by subject matter or by profession (eg., teacher, counselor, administrator, school board member, food-service staff, librarian, bus driver).

The site is designed to provide convenient one-stop shopping for educators looking to further their knowledge and skills.
