Professional Learning

Effective July 1, 2025 – The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce made an important update to the role of State Support Teams across Ohio. SST1 is one of sixteen State Support Teams supporting districts, community schools, and career-tech planning districts, identified by the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce as needing targeted or intensive support. This means less universal Professional Development and more hands-on coaching and technical assistance to those identified districts and schools. All State Support Team services are offered free of charge.

If you are interested in an event on our calendar that is not open for registration, please call our office at 419-720-8999 or contact Jill Barnhisel,

Attendance Requirements for Continuing Education Credits (CEU)

Contact hours will only be awarded for participation in a live in-person or online session. We cannot issue credit for viewing any session recordings.

Meals & Personal Comfort

Food and beverages are not provided during state-sponsored presentations. This is a state policy and applies to all sessions sponsored by the State Support Team Region 1 and the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce. You are permitted to bring snacks and beverages to training sessions held at our Collingwood Boulevard location.

While we do our best to keep our building temperatures comfortable for all of our visitors, preferences can vary. We recommend dressing in layers for your comfort.
