Upcoming Professional Development Affiliate Events
Are you interested in becoming a P21 PD Affiliate? Join us at one of our upcoming learning events.  

• March 23-25, Phoenix, AZ
• May 18-20, New Jersey
• July 28-30, Denver, CO
  

The objective of the Professional Development Affiliate Program is to ensure 21st century readiness for every student by establishing a network of professional development experts.

By attending the Program, participants will leave with a firm understanding of the Framework for 21st Century Learning and how they can fuse the 3Rs (reading, writing, mathematics, history, and others) and the 4Cs (critical thinking and problem solving, communication, collaboration and creativity) in their own professional development work.

In addition to the resources and knowledge obtained during the program, PD Affiliates gain the opportunity to network with like-minded individuals working toward improving education for students by ensuring they are ready for today’s and tomorrow’s world.

PD Affiliates listed in the top section (below) are also P21 member organizations. As Strategic Council members, they are dedicated to advancing the 21st Century Skills Framework through partnership, innovation, advocacy, policy as well as professional development.  Participant names are included.
