Saint Xavier University's Professional Development Sessions

The importance of professional development cannot be overemphasized, especially in a field as vital as education. Only by continually arming our educators with the latest in research, techniques, and knowledge in the profession can educators help their students on a daily basis. Saint Xavier University wants to offer educators an opportunity to attend professional development sessions, which will help them better serve their student population.

Saint Xavier University's Office of Admission will host professional development sessions, welcoming local educators. Our goal is to help as many of these educators as possible, who in turn, will reach out to their students with the new information they have learned. For those educators not able to attend these events, we want them to benefit from this event just as much as those that attended. We will be posting everything from these events to this webpage. We will include the entire video from the event, as well as the presentations, handouts, and other items our guests received.

If you have any questions or want to learn more about our professional development sessions, please contact Jim Peltzer at 773-298-3042 or peltzer@sxu.edu. We hope you and your students benefit from this information.
