Professional Development Plan

I am really struggling with knowing what to do for my professional development plan. There are two areas that I want to improve in this year: teaching writing to my low kids and becoming proficient in writing standards-based IEPS. I have been reading books about teaching writing but I would love to take a graduate school class in this area. Unfortunately, I can't find any classes that look like they would be helpful. I would like any advice, if anyone knows of a good class or even a good resource.
I am attending a conference for learning about standards-based IEPs in November which will help immensely in that area. Most likely, I will focus on the writing skills as I teach two writing groups and I feel as though this is the area of greatest need. I reeceived one of my degrees in 7-12 language arts so I feel confident in teaching writing to older students. However, I never received instruction in teaching writing to younger students.
