Every Educational Assistant in the NM PreK program is required to attend three trainings each school year: two Observational Assessment Tools trainings and one Institute training. The Institute will have a separate Web site and registration system.
Educational Assistants are required to attend two Observational Assessment Tools trainings, one in the fall and one in the spring. The trainings are divided into four tracks, based on the number of years you have been at a NM PreK program.
