Locals are typically gearing up now to send participants to the AFT’s signature Summer Educator Academy. But, given the times we are in, we recently canceled the face-to-face version of this year’s SEA. Since making this decision, the Professional Development team has been designing online versions of SEA sessions for members. We will be offering a series ranging from workshops to full courses starting with Session I:
Train the Trainer Courses
Strategies for Student Success: Rethinking Teaching and Learning
PSRP: Interacting with Students—Minimizing Unintended Consequences
Informing Instruction: Linking the Assessment Process to Teaching and Learning
Participant-Only Courses
Developing Math Problem-Solving Strategies with Bar Models
ELL 101—Special Virtual Edition—Planning for the Success of ELLs
Managing Student Behavior in School Communities for Paraprofessionals and School- Related Personnel (MBSC for PSRPs)

Select your participants and register them to reserve their spot! Courses start as early as July 6.

Note: A participant can attend more than one participant-only mini-course as long as the dates of each course do not overlap. If a participant registers for more than one course given on the same day, his or her registration for the class that starts the latest will be canceled.
Local leaders may register their participants, or participants can register themselves with prior approval from their leader. Payment must be submitted by local unions or districts. Payments from individual participants will not be accepted.
