Host a PD Event

CASE Professional Development Events

CASE PD Events are hosted regionally through Ag Ed partners throughout the country. Hosts are the heart of the CASE curriculum delivery model. They include affiliate post-secondary programs, industry, CTE teacher programs, and sometimes even FFA chapters. There are three different types of PD events, CASE Institutes, BriefCASES, and Preservice programs. Hosts coordinate facilities, meals, and supplies for the training. They also communicate with CASE, participants, and our Lead Teachers to organize the PD event. Applications and the Host Manual are linked under Host Resources.
