We have launched a new and improved Professional Learning Catalog (opens in new window) site, which is now integrated with the Office of School Wellness Programs Wellness Hub. Starting this school year, all professional learning opportunities from our Office are now available only on the new site. The links below for Self-Guided Courses were updated in Summer 2025, moving forward, this former catalog will no longer be updated.
