ACES Professional Development Activities

ACES PLC II – Navigating Systems, Learning Strategies, Developing a Future Pathway

  • PLC II - Face to Face PLCs can be arranged directly with your region’s ACES Facilitators. Not sure who yours are? Let Patsy know, and she can assist you.
  • PLC II HYBRIDs are scheduled as follows below. NOTE: The first meeting is IN PERSON, the following two meetings are online via Go2Training. For all regions except Metro, participants will register for the PLC II Hybrid as they register for their spring regional event.
