Barb Schumacher
K-12 Professional Development Coordinator

Barb Schumacher has worked at NDSU since 1988. She has worked exclusively in the K-12 Professional Development program throughout her time at NDSU. Schumacher works closely with K-12 administrators and other individuals to get their Professional Development classes approved at NDSU. Throughout the years, Schumacher has prepared thousands of courses for the approval process by collecting syllabi, curriculum vitae, and other supporting documentation. Once the approval information is complete, Schumacher ensures the appropriate NDSU administrators have reviewed each course for quality and content. Upon completion of each course, Schumacher ensures the course evaluation feedback is emailed to the instructors. Schumacher's favorite time of the year is when the office's K-12 Professional Development Catalog has officially been mailed.
