The ETAS Regions

Baden has a membership of approximately 50 people of varied interests and backgrounds. Our aim is to have a workshop or get-together every 3-4 months. Drawing from our members' rich pool of talent and expertise, plus reaching out to other ETAS professionals, we will continue to improve our Baden branch's awareness of current teaching practices.
