FAQ of the Month: How Can I Share My Professional Learning Opportunity with Educators?
Professional Learning staff maintains the Professional Learning Opportunities Portal, a one-stop location for educators to find professional learning opportunities that are occurring across the state of Montana. As a provider, you can submit a request for us to post a professional learning opportunity you are hosting by clicking the Submit an Opportunity button. This website is not the same as the Renewal Unit Provider System that is used to record renewal unit activities, issue OPI Renewal Unit Certificates, and record the number of attendees that attended the renewal unit activity.
