Professional Development

The OMA offers a series of workshops throughout the year for guides, assistants, parents and administrators. These workshops are a chance to deepen our member’s practice in the classroom while providing opportunities for connection. Our Assistant’s Workshops, offered the week before the school year begins, is an annual favorite.  Find out about our upcoming workshops and plan to join us!
