Frontline Training Opportunities
The Professional Development team is excited to announce our new system: Frontline Professional Growth, for keeping track of snow/inclement weather, trade-in, family engagement and professional growth activities (previously known as workshops). This new platform allows you to keep track of your portfolio in real time, so you can easily view how many hours you have logged in each category.
For training in Frontline Professional Growth, we have developed training sessions tailored to showcase how you can best leverage Frontline in to track your professional growth. Please sign up for one of the below sessions.
