Allen Weatherly's Statement On The IDEAS Portal

This is a historical event for AETN. We are proud to be offering web-based professional development for Arkansas teachers. With the Internet Delivered Education for Arkansas Schools (IDEAS) portal, AETN leads the nation in progressive training for teachers. I would like to thank our Arkansas Legislators and the Arkansas Department of Education for their support and partnership in this wonderful venture.

We at AETN believe the IDEAS on-line portal is a smart investment in our state’s future. The portal is designed to assist all teachers of all grades with everything they do in the classroom. Whether you are a new teacher just starting out or a veteran of many years, you will find something new and invaluable here.Whether it’s professional development training or educational resources, we’re here to set you up for success.When our teachers are successful, our students will be successful.And they’ll make Arkansas a success!

AETN’s mission is to educate, enrich and inspire the people of this great state. We take that mission very seriously. We hope that the teachers of Arkansas will find this training inspirational, and use it to enrich one of the most precious gifts in life, that of a great education.

Allen Weatherly, Executive Director of AETN
