The CESA 5 Initial Educator Support Seminars are based on the Ten Wisconsin Educator Standards.

The knowledge, skills and dispositions of each standard are discussed and self-assessed during the four support seminars. Reflective practice is modeled as participants look at the standards and their own practice in their classrooms. Collaboration, competence and networking are emphasized. Mentors are invited to participate and provide their insights to the topics being discussed.

The CESA 5 Support Seminars can stand-alone or can be part of your district’s professional development plan for your teachers. They are planned to fit into an educator’s daily practice. The seminars are structured to share experiences and reflect on student outcomes within a regional support system.

The seminars are held for teachers new to education or new to their district.

Early Bird Discount of $25 if registered before June 19, 2009

IMPORTANT REGISTRATION INFORMATION: When registering, you must register for each session individually. Signing up for one seminar does not automatically register you for any of the others.
