EDTrainingCenter Celebrates Five Years Participation in FASPA's Annual Conference
As a Florida-based business, the homegrown relationships of FASPA are especially rewarding. We are pleased to have been a FASPA Sponsor for the past five years, and we look forward to continuing the tradition in years to come.
This year we heard fascinating insights from Hillsborough County's Pay for Performance coordinators (two of them anyway...one thing they emphasized was the collaborative approach). We also heard about hot topics in HR, of which SUBSTITUTE PROFESSIONALISM and COMPLIANCE TRAINING were the highlights for us at EDTrainingCenter. Though 22 districts already use one of our Smart Solutions, we were bombarded with interest from many other district Personnel Directors wanting to know more.
Over the past five years, we've trained tens of thousands of Florida's educators. We look forward to continuing to bring value to the education industry in our home state. Our thanks to the folks at FASPA. They always put together an energetic and productive event.
