Qualifying to vote in the upcoming SSSC elections

Leads and Professionals will automatically get a ballot to vote.  You must be relicensed by 8pm Eastern Daylight Time on 8 Oct to be considered as ā€œActive.ā€  If you still need to relicense, you can do so here.  If you are an intern or an Associate, you can still vote, but you will need to register.  You can do so here, but this must be done (including getting 3 letters of recommendation submitted online) by Sept 13th.


Three draft proposals for your review

The curriculum committee has worked on two draft proposals ā€“ about online Level One teacher trainings, and about the amount of pre-recorded content permitted in Level One and Level Two trainings.  And the Professional Development Committee is submitting a proposal for consideration regarding professional trainers who donā€™t want to become leads not needing a mentor. 

All trainers in the ATA are invited to participate in reviewing them, suggesting edits, and eventually voting on them.  The first step is an online discussion, beginning now.  The curriculum committee will then take any suggestions from these dialogues under advisement and may (or may not) edit the proposals.  They will then be brought to the Sept regional trainer meetings, for face-to-face discussion about them.  The notes and recommendations from those discussions will be posted online for everyone to access.  One more round of online discussion will then happen, followed by an online vote.
