ONGOING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
In addition to learning opportunities available within Austin ISD through our Human Capital Platform, there are outstanding learning opportunities being offered outside the district. While no District funding is available for these opportunities, AISD staff should know of other opportunities. Please visit newly created page on our Educator Quality/Professional Development web site. I hope you and your staff find this helpful.
