First off, conferences. I type this post from the lobby of the Sunriver resort after sneaking out of a 1A classification meeting early. Attending conferences can open your eyes to a lot of curriculum and networking opportunities that are out of this world. While I was working with the afterschool program in Mapleton, I attended the "School's Out Washington" conference for afterschool and summerschool programs. I was able to learn about how other programs were run and made connections that I still have.
I'm currently at the Oregon Athletic Director's Association (OADA) state conference. I've been here for a day and a half and yet have networked with people that have changed the way I approach my job. I can't stress how valuable conferences are to your professional development.
The second isn't really an official professional development venue, but Ted Talks has been a resource for technology and policy that I find exceptionally valuable. If you have a chance, watch the talk given by Johnny Lee.
