Consortium Annual Services

National Priority Conference

Consortium members establish strategic directions for the development of Consortium products and services in a two-day fall conference held in the Washington DC area.

Trainer Workshop

A workshop at the ITEEA Annual Conference is conducted each year to train workshop providers for each Consortium state. The content of the workshop features new model course guides. Participants receive hands-on experiences with the new materials from the authors of the model course guides. Each Consortium State may send as many as six workshop providers to the trainer workshops. The objective is to train workshop providers for each state so that they will have a readily available in-state capacity for providing professional development to teachers.
