KSDE does not approve professional development providers. The decision on whether an in-service activity may count for professional development points belongs to the district/system Professional Development Council. However, KSDE may highlight some learning opportunities offered by its state-wide partners below.
Dear School/District Leaders,
Kansas MTSS and Alignment is pleased to announce the upcoming Kansas MTSS & Alignment Leadership Institute, a dynamic professional development event tailored for building and district leaders. This one-day institute will be held in three convenient locations across Kansas to accommodate your busy schedules.
Event Details:

We are honored to feature Heath Peine as our keynote speaker, who will bring invaluable insights to our sessions. The institute will also include breakout sessions on critical topics such as instructional leadership, change management, measuring effectiveness, and more.
