We’re excited to launch the 2025–2026 Professional Development year with a calendar full of meaningful, high-impact learning opportunities designed to empower educators and elevate classroom practice.

🗓️ Fall PD Scheduling Made Easy
We’ve thoughtfully scheduled our fall PD sessions to align with JPS breaks, so you won’t have to juggle professional development with fall sports season. Now you can earn your CEUs and still cheer on your favorite teams—no scheduling stress required!
📝 New Registration Process
To improve accuracy and simplify CEU processing, all participants must now purchase a ticket for each PD session.
- For Members: When you purchase a PD ticket, you’re actually purchasing your CEU certificate. JFT will collect these fees and submit a single payment to Mississippi College on behalf of all attendees—removing the burden of individual payments and paperwork.
- For Non-members: Tickets include both CEU certificates and registration fees.
To help you save on service fees, we’re offering three bundle options so members can purchase multiple CEU certificates at once. If our current bundles don’t match your PD goals, let us know—we may be able to create a custom bundle just for you.
We’re also working with Mississippi College to group select courses into larger CEU packages, which can help reduce overall costs.
Note: Mississippi College has increased the cost of their CEU certificates by $5. Despite this change, MC continues to offer the most affordable CEU options in the metro area.
We’re proud to support your professional growth this year. Let’s make 2025–2026 a year of learning, leadership, and transformation—for you and your students.
