Consultant Search Service
The goal of the AASSA Consultant Search Service is to assist member schools with professional development needs for faculty and/or staff at a reasonable price and provided by practitioners from other schools in the region.
No fees will be charged or paid for the consultancy, and the consultant will be given release time from their home school.
The sponsoring school will provide airfare, ground transportation, room, board, and a local artisan gift of appreciation to the consultant
Process
Member schools looking for a consultant fill out an online Consultant Request form and submit it to AASSA at least 90 days prior to the planned PD
Request is reviewed and approved or declined
If the request is approved, AASSA emails all Heads of School and Curriculum Coordinators in the region requesting names and contact information of qualified faculty and/or staff member to fulfill the consultant role. *Permission from the HOS is required for the consultant’s release time
Potential consultant contact information from member schools will be forwarded to the requesting (host) school so they may communicate directly with potential consultants and the HOS. Communication should occur to assess the qualifications and “fit” of the consultant to fulfill the schools’ need and to arrange and agree on dates, details, etc. for Professional Development to occur
It is the requesting schools’ responsibility to fully assess and determine the potential consultant’s skills and qualifications to provide meaningful Professional Development. Follow-up regarding the consultancy with AASSA is also required so please see the full description of the program on our website.
