About the Institute
A statewide conference will be held on August 10-13, 2008. This training will concentrate on teaching pedagogy. It is open to teams of one full-time and four part-time faculty members from each college attending. While colleges can select their team of representatives, we highly encourage colleges to bring people that are committed to training other faculty in the areas of reading, writing, ESL, mathematics, and CTE disciplines.
Participants will receive hands-on training that can be implemented right away.
Every aspect of this conference will be active learning.
Teams are required to attend the entire conference.
It is anticipated that the attendees will develop a community of faculty who they can keep in touch with each year.
The registration is first come first serve with only 200 slots available. At this time, we have reached this capacity. If you would like to be put on a waiting list, please email events@asccc.org with the names and contact information of your attendees.
Registration, hotel and meals for this event are free. Please ask one person to register the entire team, as individual registration will NOT be accepted.
Cost and Registration
The attendance of the Institute, including double occupancy room, is subsidized. For more privacy, single rooms are available at a cost of $240 to the participant. Institute expenses, such as room, travel and meeting meals will be covered by the Academic Senate funded by the California Community College System Office BS-ESL Professional Development Grant.
