To join the ETTC Consortium, please prepare a written request on school letterhead to the Southern Regional Institute & ETTC, 淫性视频, Parkway Building, 101 Vera King Farris Drive, Galloway, New Jersey 08205 requesting membership. Please include in your letter the number of enrolled students for the district. Membership is based on the number of students as of the October 15 ASSA on-roll PreK-12 count. This can be emailed to ettc@stockton.edu. We will confirm your membership request and your teachers can begin registering for ETTC workshops almost immediately. If you join mid-year, your district will be billed immediately.  All member districts are renewed annually on July 1 and billed by 淫性视频 at that time.

Purchase training through ETTC Hours: Teachers from non-member school districts can register for the general calendar of ETTC workshops through the use of a purchase order, personal check, or credit card.  Districts may also purchase a block of ETTC Hours to be used for individual registrations or custom services. This can be requested online. Purchasing ETTC Hours is a cost-effective method for planning professional development in advance through the school year and is helpful for grant-writing and budgeting purposes as well.

Purchase custom training: School districts can contract with the ETTC for any of our workshop topics to be conducted onsite and to be customized to the technology, curriculum and scheduling needs of the district. School districts can purchase training ahead of time through a purchase order that includes the number of ETTC hours requested, with the understanding that training times and content will be scheduled later to meet the needs of the district and of the ETTC. Custom training time can be purchased online. These purchased hours do not expire for two years so there is sufficient time to plan and schedule programming.

To learn more about any of these options, or for a membership quote, email ettc@stockton.edu.

Allocation of ETTC Hours is based on the following principles:

  1. Each district receives ETTC Hours in direct proportion to the number of students in the district as defined by the state's On-Roll ASSA count.
  2. Smaller districts receive sufficient hours so that a "critical mass" of staff can benefit from professional development.
    Districts can spend their ETTC Hours throughout the fiscal year.

Cancellations on the day of, or after the workshop, and no-shows forfeit the full ETTC Hours or registration fee.

Your district's staff members are the best judges of their professional development needs. Here, however, are some general suggestions to help your district maximize the impact of its ETTC Hours:

1. Plan them out - don't send just the beginners or just the experts. Your district will benefit most if your staff receives a variety of training experiences from the ETTC. Send us some of your most nervous beginners or hardened skeptics, as well as some of your ground-breakers and techno-enthusiasts.

2. Spread them out. Send teachers from a variety of grade levels and subjects to ensure that all levels of your district benefit from our professional development offerings. Our calendar varies through the year, and several special workshops are scheduled only during the summer months.

3. Keep track of them. The ETTC provides a password protected online system at so you can check on the usage of ETTC Hours and attendance records at any time. (Call ETTC if you need to retrieve your username and password information.) Districts that have coordinated the assignments of ETTC Hours in an organized manner have benefited the most from our training. 

4. Follow-up can be crucial. Once a staff member completes an ETTC workshop, he or she should have an easy regular way to share what they have learned with colleagues. Ask them to share materials or present a brief summary at the next staff meeting!
