Professional Development
Hands-On. High-Impact.
PD Designed With You in Mind.
At PAST, we believe professional learning should be as dynamic and relevant as the classrooms and communities you serve. That’s why our professional development offerings are immersive, collaborative, and built around real-world applications. Whether you're an educator, administrator, or community partner, we’ll help you reimagine how learning happens, and give you the tools to make it stick.
Immersive Professional Development
Our immersive PD experiences combine virtual prep with in-person, hands-on implementation. Each session explores a focused topic—like robotics, agricultural engineering, Minecraft in education, or the integration of STEM and the arts. You’ll collaborate with peers, content experts, and PAST facilitators to design innovative strategies you can take straight back to your classroom or organization.
