Dear Judiciary Employees: We are delighted to present the 2019 course catalog for the continuing education of the Judiciary’s professionals. The Department of Professional Development has worked tirelessly with our subject matter experts, depart- ment staff, and College staff to offer an exciting array of courses in the upcoming year. You will be able to select from a variety of learning formats to meet your time constraints and professional commitments. Whether you sign-up for an in-classroom experience, a webinar, or an online course, you have plenty of topic options to choose from. As you know, we are working behind the scenes to develop the Judiciary’s proficiency-based education system which is a performance-based approach to education. Focusing on closing gaps between what we know and what we do is being promoted throughout the Judiciary. We heartedly recommend when looking for a course, you consider taking courses that will be both of interest and also support you in performance excellence. We have lots of new course offerings in 2019 including Access to Justice and Finding Your Bliss . Back by popular demand are our business writing classes, Change Management for Supervisors and Managers , and Project Management courses. Supporting our efforts to bring adult learning principles and strate- gies to our classrooms, we are offering a Training of Trainers series for current and future faculty. We hope you enjoy perusing the catalog and that you take full advantage of our continuing education course offerings. We look forward to serving you in 2019 and assisting you in your learning, performance excellence, and profes- sional development towards carrying out the Judiciary’s mission. Warm Regards, Welcome to the 2019 Department of Professional Development Course Catalog
