Ongoing professional development is provided for educators to increase knowledge and build confidence in implementing the College and Career Curriculum. Educators benefit from support in determining authentic classroom applications, creating schoolwide consistency, and sustaining instructional practices. Online courses are available to learn to teach self-efficacy, self-regulation, assertiveness and conflict management with customization for individual contexts.
