Professional Development

With support of the Kentucky Department of Education and the Kentucky Workgroup on Civic Education, the Office of Civic Education and Engagement hosts the Kentucky Teacher Network for Excellence in Civic Education and Engagement (the Network).
The Network has more than 300 participants from across the Commonwealth. The purpose of the network is to provide opportunities for Kentucky P-12 civic educators to engage in professional learning communities in order to enhance and deepen knowledge and skills in the area of civic education and civic engagement.
The network meets throughout the year both face to face and through an online environment. This environment, hosted by Blackboard, provides opportunities for teachers across the Commonwealth to chat with one another and share curriculum, instruction, assessment, content resources, and professional development opportunities. Access to the Blackboard module is free for Kentucky educators and requires a username and password to access.

If you are not a member of the Network, or need a Blackboard username/password, please contact Natalie Bolton at the University of Louisville.
