Professional Development

AFT Innovation Fund
The AFT Innovation Fund is a groundbreaking plan to seek and share successful local educator- and union-led reform efforts in public schools across the United States. This initiative is based on the AFT’s extensive experience with successful reform ideas developed and nurtured in classrooms—by the educators who work with students every day. Simply put, the AFT is leveraging “top-down” support for “bottom-up” reforms by harnessing the strengths, experience and know-how of our teachers and the unions that support them.

Teachers: Renew Your Certification
It is important to remember to renew your teaching certification. Boards of Education are not obligated to notify you that your teaching certification needs to be renewed.

At a time when highly qualified teachers are in high demand, you must make sure that your teaching certification is up-to-date.

The Connecticut Department of Education is examining certification regulations for Connecticut's teachers. While there are currently only initial proposals the SDE has not made any concrete decisions about changes to the certification regulations.
