School’s Out Washington (SOWA) is both honored and excited to partner with Best Starts for Kids (BSK) King County to introduce the King County Professional Learning System to support free and accessible professional development and training opportunities for organizations and/or individuals that are:
- BSK Strategy 5-24 grantees
- BSK – OST grantees
- Housing and Expanded Learning Opportunities (HELO) cohort members
- City of Seattle (DEEL) cohort members
- Licensed school-age CCAP providers
- Licensed school-age childcare providers regardless of county (through partnership with Department of Children, Youth, & Families)
What to expect
Beginning in early 2021, access to a robust training calendar via School’s Out Washington’s website.
