Learn more about the new role – ATA Sponsor

We are excited to share a new possibility in assisting a teacher to enter the Academy!  You don’t have to be a Mentor to guide a teacher in their first steps entering into the Academy. If you are an Associate, Professional or Lead trainer, you can now SPONSOR an intern to enter the ATA. Learn more about this new role by reading the Sponsor Role Description HERE

NEW Competency Evaluation Form for all roles

As part of the implementation of the approved proposal to “Simplify and Streamline the ATA Documentation” all the Competency Evaluation Forms (CEF) were reviewed. They are now unique for each role, and it is important that all trainers now work with the new versions, which can be found by role on the Trainer Support Website.  If you are a candidate for a new role in the Academy, DO NOT use the CEF on the portal.
