Service provider: Illinois Resource Center, a division of The Center: Resources for Teaching and Learning

Since January 1, 2012, the Illinois Resource Center (IRC), a division of The Center:

Resources for Teaching and Learning, has been providing professional learning

services to our state’s educators through contracts from the Department of

Multilingual at the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE). These professional

learning opportunities, offered in a variety of formats, focus on English Learners

(ELs) and are provided free to Illinois school district educators.

Multi-district workshops – These workshops are held at different locations throughout the Chicagoland area as well as downstate, including at universities, school districts, community centers and other similar venues. Some workshops will also be offered as a series over time.

Regional Institutes – Regional Institutes are similar to workshops and are offered throughout the state in specific areas: Region 1 (Chicago, Cook and collar counties), Region 2 (Northwest Illinois), Region 3 (West Central Illinois), Region 4 (East Central Illinois), Region 5 (Southwest Illinois) and Region 6 (Southeast Illinois). Participants may register for any Regional Institute of interest, regardless of location. See page 4 for map.

Webinars – These live online presentations on various topics allow participants from a wide geographic area to become familiar with foundational issues, strategies, and resources for ELs. During the year, webinars are delivered on various topics including Administrator Academies provided in conjunction with the Illinois Principals Association.

Evidence of Completion of Professional Development are available for all multi-district workshops, Regional Institutes, and webinars. Certificates are issued and distributed to participants at the end of these professional learning offerings. Please note that contact hours cannot be adjusted to meet individual needs.

Registration – Individuals interested in attending any professional learning event will need to pre-register as enrollment in all sessions is limited. Please use our eco-friendly online registration process at www.thecenterweb.org/IRC or mail registration forms to the IRC in Arlington Heights. If you are unable to participate once you have registered, please provide at least 72 hours notice so that another person may take your place. Failure to do so may affect your attempt to register for future events.

Additional Professional Learning Offerings and Updates During the year, this professional learning calendar will be updated through the IRC website www.thecenterweb.org/IRC as new ISBE sponsored events are offered. Additionally, email announcements will be sent out to individuals on the IRC electronic mailing list regarding these professional learning offerings. To receive electronic announcements about upcoming events, sign up through the IRC home page. Go to irc2.thecenterweb.org and click on “Join our mailing list” on the left hand column.
