Online Workshops Professional Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) is pleased to offer a new series of online workshops for K–12 educators. These shorter duration workshops each explore a key concept or practice of particular relevance for today’s K–12 educators, and are grounded in day-to-day teaching and leadership practice. Offerings are both facilitated and asynchronous, providing support and guidance as well as flexibility for busy educators.
We offer online workshops multiple times a year and run a series each season. Winter workshops begin in February; Spring workshops begin in April or May; Summer workshops begin July or August; Fall workshops begin October and November.
