K-6 Teachers
As we continue to work on ensuring
compliance and high levels of learning for
all students in our district, including the
more than 350 multilingual learners who enrich our classrooms, we are excited to share a great opportunity for K-6 teachers who may be interested in advancing their professional learning to better serve not only multilingual learners, but all students in their classrooms.

Posible FHPS-Aquinas Partnership
We have an exciting opportunity from the ESL Program in the School of Education at Aquinas College— one that will allow for more teachers from FHPS to add an ESL endorsement to their teaching certificate.
We are exploring the opportunity to partner with Aquinas College (AQ) School of Education (SOE) to provide you with the coursework needed to help you secure an ESL endorsement, but we would like to gauge interest first.

Total cost to teachers is less than $250
