From Preparation to Practice - Welcome!
The Preparation to Practice Group (PPG) promotes a culture of professional learning and engagement concerning issues central to P-12 professionals. Our services span the continuum of development from initial preparation through professional practice. The PPG provides a model infrastructure to advance research, share knowledge, coordinate policy and practice, and collaborate with education partners to strengthen the profession and positively impact P-12 student development.
Welcome to the new online home for the Preparation to Practice Group. Here you will be able to find information about programs we sponsor and coordinate for new educators, professional development for current educators, a resource library with materials from past events, and much more!
