Professional Development & Training

For more than 30 years, ETR has been building the capacity of organizations, schools and government agencies through our training and technical assistance services.

Our Approach

ETR uses a holistic approach to professional development and capacity building, tailored to address the goals of organizations and the communities they serve. Our research-based professional development model is designed to achieve sustained learning and is rooted in cognitive science, neuroscience, implementation science and adult learning theory.

With thousands of participants in our network, we have an exceptional pool of trainers and content experts, and an impressive research-to-practice resource bank. Learn more about how we support individuals and organizations through our distributed learning process.
