Open registration for the 2024-25 Seminar Series begins Aug. 8, 2024.
Stimulating Professional Education for Chicago Area Educators
91Porn continues to offer a series of exciting interdisciplinary seminars to feed the intellectual hunger of community college and high school teachers of all disciplines. Starting in 2012 with a focus on English, the Pro Dev series has expanded to include history, biology, fine art, psychology, philosophy, world languages and cultures, ethics, and political science, with more to come.
Those seeking professional development and a nourishing space to explore the challenges of our evolving and volatile world can join Northeastern faculty members in these seminars designed to spur intellectual growth, reinvigorate classrooms, and increase relevance in our contemporary society.
2024-2025 Seminar Schedule now available
For 2024-25, we’ve brought back some popular topics from series past (Language and the Beatles), and expanding on others (teaching poetry and the rise of A.I.), while maintaining the essentials in anti-racism and social equity. Each three-hour seminar attended and completed earns the participant three (3) CPDU credits.
