IACTE Colleagues -

The third annual IACTE Day at the Indiana Statehouse - “Meet Indiana’s Future: Our Future Teachers” - is March 7, 2018.  All IACTE members are encouraged to join us for a day where junior and senior teacher candidates, Indiana’s future teachers, may interact with their legislators to discuss and to highlight the clinical and real world experiences that they have throughout their programs.  Our event will be on the south side of the Statehouse third floor. A light lunch will be served.  The entire program will run from 10:30AM until 1:30PM Eastern Time.

This year we will include a new collaboration with the Indiana Commission for Higher Education (ICHE) to feature candidates who have earned a Next Generation (NextGen) Teacher Scholarship.  A list of the recipients for 2017-2018 is attached.  While all the recipients will be getting an invitation from ICHE, we strongly encourage you to consider including the upperclassmen recipients as representatives of your institution for the Day at the Statehouse.

IACTE Members -

Attached are notes from our meeting at Ball State on January 26th.

NOTE:  We will be sponsoring our third IACTE Day at the Statehouse on Wednesday March 7. Please think about participating.  More information will be sent out this week.  There are two important new developments for this year's Day:

1. We will be collaborating with the Indiana Commission for Higher Education to recognize the recipients of the Next Generation Teacher Scholarships.
2. We are requiring an institution registration fee of $100 for participants to assist in off-setting the cost of this important event.

Watch your e-mail for Day at the Statehouse information!
