Minnesota Humanities is an AMAZING professional development opportunity you get PAID to attend.  These have been extremely beneficial in building and sustaining relationships with our students.

The Kagan PD the district offers is also great!
I have found the book,"For White Folks who Teach in the Hood...and for the rest of ya'll too", is an AMAZING book that provides insight and tips to be successful!

I went to UNO through the OPS Reading Ladder, it was all paid for by OPS. I am also taking classes this semester in science through UNO paid by Sherwood. Check with your Curriculum head to see what is out there. The district has lots of free classes to take.

I don't think the dates are out yet, but OPS will pay teachers to attend week-long Kagan Cooperative Learning workshops here in Omaha put on for OPS teachers, as well as to present or attend at the OPS Teaching and Learning Institute. The Teaching and Learning Institute typically happens the week before teachers are to report back to school in August.

I went to Midland University for grad. school. It's a Masters in Teacher Leadership. Kind of a blend of administrative and curriculum and learning. They offer hybrid courses - meeting the first and last week of the 8 week classes. Most work is independent and online, so it's easy to make it fit into an already easy schedule. Best part was the action research project in place of a traditional thesis. Teachers get to pick topics to investigate that are ongoing problems in their own classrooms. Going back to school after 7 years of teaching made me a better teacher because I was reminded what it was like to be a student, and to love (or hate) learning.
