About Us

Who We Are and What We Do

The Calgary Regional Consortium (CRC) is one of seven regional Consortia that together make up the Alberta Regional Professional Development Consortia (ARPDC). The consortia were established to provide professional development and training opportunities which address the learning needs of K-12 teachers, administrators, educational assistants, support staff, pre-service teachers, parents and school trustees in Calgary and the surrounding areas for the ultimate purpose of enhancing practice and improving student achievement.

 

One Approach Will Never Fit Every Student

As educators ourselves, we know how challenging teaching can be. It’s so easy to feel overwhelmed and exhausted with an increasingly complex society, rapidly changing expectations and an incredibly diverse classroom. We need community, support, and new tools which can adapt to these challenges. And this is why we’re here. 

We offer PD created by educational experts with actionable, research-based strategies that can meet a wide range of educational needs.

Learning Pathways

  • In-person or online: learning opportunities that vary in length from one hour to multiple days
  • Recordings: available for the majority of our webinars
  • eCourses: self-paced, online learning
  • PD Playlists: downloadable resources to use alone or with your team
  • Customized learning: learning designed collaboratively with you that happens in your school or district
