Professional Development: A FLATE Best Practices Guide

This best practices guide from FLATE, the Florida Advanced Technological Education Center of Excellence, offers advice on planning and holding professional development workshops for educators in the ATE community. The 24 page guide begins with the workshop planning process, including advice on targeting an audience, communication, curriculum development, and marketing. It reminds organizers to keep in mind wide ranging issues during workshop development, like cost, diversity, and content variety and presentation. The guide also offers advice on assessing your workshop and acknowledging participants, as well as sample documents that may be of use to readers in developing and presenting their own workshops.
