Spring/Summer Advanced Academics Learning Opportunities
Spring/Summer 2020 Professional Development
Advanced Academics is excited to support campuses with multiple opportunities for Spring and Summer Professional Development. Our goal is to provide high-level and high-quality professional learning to promote increases in student achievement.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of our partners are adjusting from traditional face-to-face learning opportunities to virtual learning sessions. The virtual sessions are offered in a combined synchronous (live session) and asynchronous (independent online learning). The intention behind this adjustment to best provide you impactful professional development from the safety of your preferred location.
Once you have registered please send a copy of your registration to Ms. Diana Aragon daragon@eisd.net.
