Teacher Professional Development - Athlos Academy of Jefferson Parish

The Auburn School District is committed to on-going, embedded professional development for our staff.  During the 2020-2021 school year, Auburn adopted a new 3 part training series to provide professional development in an online environment.  This format allows for synchronous and asynchronous learning across a longer time span.  The training series format was well received and it was continued on as school re-opened. 

There is now a Fall, Winter and Spring training series each year that staff can participate in and receive additional pay for.

In addition to the training series, Auburn School District provides multiple opportunities for staff to continue their learning both at the school and at the district level.

The Fall Training Series Website - September 26th - November 3rd.

If for any reason you have additional questions, after reviewing the website, please don’t hesitate to reach out to my assistant Misty Totten (mtotten@auburn.wednet.edu) and we will do our best to answer your questions.

Thanks for all you do to serve our incredible learning community!  ðŸ˜Š
