Ohio Professional Learning Directory
OESCA manages the Ohio Professional Learning Directory, a searchable directory of curated professional learning opportunities and resources for Ohio educators. ESCs and other content providers list resources (courses, events, videos) on the directory which promotes the opportunities to educators state-wide. The Directory allows educators to search for the content they need and then links them to the content provider for more information. The directory is a search tool and listing manager. It only points users to content - content providers maintain control of content and use.
