PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT
As one of Illinois approved professional
development providers, the EFE #330 is in an excellent position to help meet
your professional development needs. Every year we survey the field and meet
with a number of educators to determine the programs for the upcoming year. The
close working relations that we maintain with the business community help to
ensure that our professional development topics include real-world applications.
In addition, we search for the best presenters from state and national
conferences to include in our events. These approaches have helped to ensure
that the programs are both relevant and well
attended.

ways for educators to stay up-to-date with the requirements of today’s
workplace. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to expand their
business networks and experience the latest technological advances in their
field.
