2008 ACT/AEA Professional Development Conference

More than 500 attend annual professional development conference

Teachers across the state, more than 500 in all, attended AEA’s recent Association of Classroom Teachers one-day professional development conference in Birmingham that offered more than 20,000 hours instruction to the total participants.

“We offered a wide variety of new and contemporary workshops for educators who are striving everyday to become better classroom teachers,” said AEA’s Manager of Education Policy and Professional Practices Dr. Tyna Davis. “I think we are increasingly able to offer exciting and worthy opportunities for teachers to stay on top of their professional responsibilities.”

Not only do teachers get educational opportunities at the annual conference, but teachers also get the opportunity to visit with other teachers and enjoy the networking opportunities that the large gathering provides, said Davis.
The conference provided 30 unique workshops ranging from differentiated instruction to school safety.

Participants attended general assemblies where they heard of the latest developments regarding AEA’s efforts to be a stronger voice for public education. During a luncheon meeting, ACT provided nationally recognized Dr. Adolph Brown to instruct and entertain. Since the conference, the EPPP Department has been inundated with calls requesting information on how to confirm his attendance at statewide and local events. The EPPP Department is pleased to provide such enriching professional development opportunities for AEA members. We look forward to seeing you again next year!
