Educational Networks
The Ventura County Office of Education facilitates educational networks dedicated to fostering professional growth in civics, math, science, and the arts. The networks offer fantastic opportunities to bring educators and community partners together to collaborate, connect, and strengthen student learning. Please see the sections below for information about each of the networks.

 

 

 

 

For this year's FREE networking opportunity, we welcome Sandy Seufert, an experienced Arts Education Leadership Consultant, to lead Ventura County districts/LEAs in a dynamic professional development series titled: "Flexing our Inquiry Muscle - Supporting All Arts Learners through the Power of Questions." This series will empower leaders and Grade Span Teams to cultivate curiosity and enhance learning for all students in the arts. LEAs will gain practical insights and tools for crafting impactful questions, designing inclusive instruction, and leveraging technology for innovative lesson planning.
