How We Can Help You
You work hard to provide the students and communities you serve with highest quality educational services. The Florida Education Association recognizes your dedication to lifelong learning both personally and professionally. That’s why FEA offers so many Professional Development opportunities and offerings geared towards both teacher and education support professionals.
The alphabet soup of mandates continues to expand – FCAT, NCLB, AYP, DA, RtI, ELL, HQT --you continue to meet every benchmark while keeping the focus on the students you serve. This newsletter is designed to keep us abreast of Professional Development opportunities through FEA.
FEA offers premier professional development program opportunities like the nationally recognized American Federation of Teachers’ (AFT) Educational Research and Dissemination Program (ER&D) and the National Educational Association’s program for English Language Learners (ELL) and school climate assessment instruments like KEYS.
We believe that the education professionals who work in the schools best understand the needs of the students. FEA wants to help make it easy for you to access the skills, strategies and the underlying research to meet the needs of those students wherever they may be on the learning continuum. This is a place to highlight your professional development successes and opportunities.
Each year, every school chooses one teacher of the year, one employee of the year out of so many who deserve the title. This newsletter serves to honor you and be a tribute to all the educational employees in Florida who, in spite of the odds, continue to Make Our Schools a Priority.
WE WANT YOUR FEEDBACK!
Have you taken a local, state, or national training that made a difference in your life? If so, we would like to hear about it. Have you taken what you learned through union-sponsored professional development and used it in an innovative way to impact student achievement or teacher/ESP leadership? We want to know what you did and how you did it. Do you have any with online learning? We want to hear about it. Find out what union-sponsored professional development opportunities are happening near you and throughout the state. Learn about state and national initiatives and how that translates into practice at your school or worksite.
