Preservice teachers from IHEs in the Mid-State region are eligible to apply for a grant to support their visit to an inclusive S3TAIR-validated school. Please see attachment. Deadline is February 11, 2011, 5 pm.
Attached is a call for proposals for next October's combined NYSATE/NYACTE - Task Force Conference at the Gideon Putnam in Saratoga Springs, NY.
As Kate DaBoll-LaVoie and I described at the Statewide Meeting on March 26th, for this coming fall's Statewide Meeting, the TF has combined with NYSATE/NYACTE to offer a somewhat different venue for its work. As such, our support of our membership for the event will reflect a different structure. HESC will pay for members' registrations for the conference ($185).
