You can find the entire Oswego County BOCES training & workshop catalog by clicking the link in this line. This catalog will contain workshops available from the Oswego County BOCES Instructional Support Services department and may be quite extensive. When viewing this catalog you will have the option to narrow your search to the different sub-sections of ISS (like RADIICAL, Model Schools or Instructional Technology) and in that way see the classes/workshops/events that you are most interested in. IMPORTANT Please note that you will be required to create an account in the My Learning Plan (WebRegistration) system in order to sign up for these classes and/or workshops if you do not already have one. This process is very fast and can be done when you sign up for your first class. This registration system is not part of the Oswego County BOCES computer network and therefore if you do not create an account you will not be able to use this system. This WebRegistration system is the only way to sign up for classes as we no longer accept email, telephone or fax requests. HELP For help with the WebRegistration system please use one of the following links: You need general help on the My Learning Plan process. You have never used My Learning Plan before and need instructions. You have used My Learning Plan before but you have forgotten your password. You would like to change your password for our My Learning Plan registration system. You would like to change your email address for our My Learning Plan registration system (please remember that you should always use your organizational email address and not a personal address).
