At Clover Park Technical College, we are committed to providing robust professional development opportunities that support our faculty's growth and excellence. We believe in the power of Open Educational Resources (OER) and have made many of our professional development offerings available through self-enroll links, accessible to anyone interested in joining. Our professional development (PD) programs are carefully aligned with the Washington State Skill Standards for Professional Technical Faculty, ensuring that each opportunity is meaningful and relevant. You'll find the number of hours dedicated to each skill standard (A, B, and D) clearly listed under each PD offering. Additionally, we've provided a link to view the full crosswalk and curriculum, making it easier for faculty—especially those on tenure-track—to track their progress and understand how these opportunities contribute to their professional development journey.

If you are not affiliated with Clover Park Technical College, but would still like access to the courses, please email tlc@cptc.edu

If you’re working on your initial certification and need to see how your training aligns with the Skill Standards, you can use our Skill Standards Mapper GPT. Simply paste the details of your PD activity, and it will show you how the hours map to Skill Standards A, B, and D.
