The goal of the 2023-2024 EPC project was to adapt professional development (PD) to meet the evolving needs of educators in the General Adult Education (AGE) sector, focusing on curricular and cross-curricular topics while ensuring accessibility and relevance. The goal was to move away from traditional series-based PD to a more flexible, disciplined-oriented PD. 

To ensure the effectiveness and relevance of the PD offerings, the committee worked through a collaborative decision-making process. This was achieved by surveying teachers and consultants, to gather insights into desired PD topics and areas of expertise. The goals were as follows: 

• to  tailor PD opportunities that would address educators diverse needs and pedagogical goals; 

• foster empowerment and continuous growth within the AGE Sector.
