Professional development forum for paraprofessionals set for Jan. 28

HISD knows that increasing student achievement isn’t limited to work done in the classroom. In order to help our students grow, all employees need to work in concert with each other toward that common goal.

That’s why the district will offer a day of development workshops for its paraprofressional employees on Wednesday, Jan. 28.

Employees can learn more about the district’s technology initiatives, help shape future professional development opportunities, and discover available avenues for becoming a teacher. Anyone interested in attending should work with their campus administrator or manager to make the necessary arrangements.

This is the first in a series of events designed to give HISD’s paraprofessionals the tools and resources needed to advance into positions with added roles and responsibilities. Each professional development event will build upon the previous ones.

Registration is limited to 150 participants. To register, login to the eTRAIN system, click “Search for Courses,” then “Search by keyword or course.” The registration number is OB0031.

You can also learn more about additional professional development opportunities offered throughout the year by clicking here. For more information about the seminars offered during the paraprofessional development day, call 713-556-7575 or email orgdev@houstonisd.org.
