Chinese Educators Coming to AASD
Pictures taken of the Austin Area School District, Austin, Pennsylvania during recent Flag Changing Ceremony. Members of the VFW Post 7810 also attended the ceremony.
An article appearing in yesterday's Bradford Era newspaper entitled "Austin STEM program to host training for teachers from China", written by Amber Turba, which can be read online by clicking HERE, touts the STEM program here at the Austin Area School District, Austin, Pennsylvania.
Hard to imagine, but teachers from China are coming to the smallest public school in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to learn about our STEM program. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Ms. Turba has written an excellent article on our program and provides a number of informative quotes from Mr. Jerry Sasala, the superintendent of our school.
If you haven't visited the Austin Area School District website lately, you should do so as the homepage contains a nice slideshow picturing school activities and some projects. You can goto their website by clicking HERE.
