Event: Professional Development Certification Institute for Program Managers Level 1
Begins: Thu, 20 Nov 2008 at 8:00 AM
Ends: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 at 1:00 PM
Description:
This is level one professional development certification training for program managers that the OAEL and Resource Center have been developing. Many of you have attended
information sessions about this project at either the southwest or northern Virginia VAILL conferences.
The certification training is for program managers and appropriate executive level staff in your programs. We are thinking that those programs that have a manager and a key coordinator may wish to bring both individuals to the training, but that is a decision for managers to make. This training is not for administrative support or teachers. It is
aimed at those individuals who make the financial and programmatic decisions.
