Portland Public Schools

Credit and Training for Making Workplace Progress

AFT Connecticut's professional development (PD) has over the past three months offered more than a dozen career advancement, worksite safety and union leadership development workshops. The variety of course offerings has been diverse, with several led by accredited experts while others were presented by local union members who had completed prior "train the trainer" sessions. They all shared in common our state federation's commitment to furthering a "grow-your-own" capacity-building model for this valuable benefit.

Our Members Earn National Honors

Four of our state's public schools -- including two where AFT Connecticut members work -- have been designated by the U.S. Department of Education as National Blue Ribbon Schools for 2014. We offer our heartiest congratulations to all the educators and support personnel in Norwalk’s Thomas Jefferson Magnet School and Portland's Middle School for earning this extraordinary honor.
