Thanks, Esther. I know of nothing offered in Texas in terms of online PD.  I do have a question that I'd like posted:
 
Is there any organization which supports collective bargaining for Adult Educators? 
 
If there is no advocacy organization in position, I am interested in pursuing organizing one.
 
We Texas teachers love what we do; however, we serve at the whim of the organization (state Educational Service Centers) and receive no service credits for teaching, even though many of us we are certified Texas teachers.
 
Thank you for your response and your communications.  They are invaluable.
