   formal coursework, conferences and informal
   learning opportunities situated in practice. It has
   been described as intensive and collaborative,
   ideally incorporating an evaluative stage….

                              NASPA, ACPA offer
                              conferences at
                              national, regional

                              party organizations.
But ….

         Busy schedule
         sometimes
         preclude me from
         attending trainings,
         even on campus.
But ….

         Even with
         discounts,
         conference
         travel/cost also
         expensive.
But ….

         Cost of training can
         be very expensive.
          Dept has limited
         budget for training.
What Is Alternative Professional Development?

Given the limitations/constraints of formal trainings,
what are other forms of professional development?
