Secondary Education Programs informational meetings this month!

Hello colleagues,

I wanted to send you the list of dates for the October Secondary Education Programs Informational meetings.  Please disseminate to your students freely and widely!  Many of them are informational meetings for students interested in teaching as we have seen in the past.  Please note that October 3rd and 4th are the first of several informational meetings slated for this month!

 

I also want to draw your attention to a meeting intended for students interested in earning endorsements.  If a student wants to teach more than one subject (many of them do) at the advanced/AP level, they should come to this meeting.   Endorsements can add to a student’s credentials, making them more employable.  All prospective and current secondary and BAT students are welcome.
